Cabling — Fiber, Copper Patch & Bulk Network Cables
Resilient Tec's Cabling collection covers the full spectrum of physical layer connectivity — from high-density OM4 and OM5 multimode fiber patch cables to slim-profile Cat6 copper patch cables and commercial-grade bulk Cat6/Cat6A CMR riser cable. Every cable is tested before shipment and backed by a lifetime warranty. Whether you're patching a rack, cabling a server room, or running structured wiring through walls, you'll find the right cable here.

|---|---|---|
| Max Speed | 100G+ | 1G–10G |
| Max Distance | Up to 150m (OM4/OM5) | Up to 100m |
| EMI Resistance | Immune | Moderate (UTP) |
| Best Use Case | Data center backbone, high-speed inter-rack | Access layer, office/server patching |
| Connector Type | LC to LC (duplex) | RJ45 |
Patch Cables vs. Bulk Cable
Patch cables are pre-terminated and ready to plug in — ideal for rack patching, switch-to-switch connections, and server connections where a finished, tested cable is needed immediately. Our Cat6 slim patch cables use a reduced-diameter jacket (under 4mm) that keeps dense patch panels clean and airflow unrestricted.
Bulk cable (sold by the spool) is used for structured cabling runs — pulled through walls, conduit, or above drop ceilings. Our Cat6 CMR and Cat6A CMR bulk spools meet TIA-568 specifications and are UL-listed for riser applications. Use with field-termination keystone jacks or RJ45 plugs of your choice.
