Easenet Indoor Copper UTP Cat 6 Cable — 305m Reel
The Easenet Indoor Copper UTP Cat 6 Cable is a solid bare copper Category 6 unshielded twisted-pair cable rated to 250 MHz for Gigabit Ethernet indoor structured cabling. It is tested and verified to ISO/IEC 11801 and EIA/TIA Category 6 standards, supports 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet across the full 100-metre horizontal channel, and is supplied on a 305-metre reel with sequential metre markings from 0 to 305m. RoHS compliant.
Within the Easenet Cat 6 indoor range, this is the full bare copper variant — positioned above the Easenet Indoor Semi-Copper Cat 6 in both performance capability and TIA/ISO standards compliance. The bare copper conductor construction provides full Cat 6 channel performance, PoE and PoE+ support at standard run lengths, and correct TIA-568 conductor compliance — the specifications that the CCA semi-copper variant cannot match. For buyers choosing between the two Easenet indoor Cat 6 options, conductor material is the deciding specification.
Performance and Bandwidth
The Easenet Indoor Copper UTP Cat 6 cable is rated to 250 MHz, supporting Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T / IEEE 802.3ab) at the full 100-metre horizontal channel and 10GBASE-T over shorter runs of approximately 55 metres. Performance is tested and verified to ISO/IEC 11801 and EIA/TIA Category 6 standards — the international and North American frameworks governing Cat 6 structured cabling channel performance.
Supported applications include:
- 1000BASE-T — Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3ab)
- 100BASE-TX — Fast Ethernet
- 10BASE-T — Standard Ethernet
- Token Ring — 4/16 Mbps legacy applications
- ATM — 155 Mbps and 622 Mbps
- PoE / PoE+ — Standard and high-power Power over Ethernet (see below)
Conductor Construction — Solid Bare Copper
The Easenet Indoor Copper UTP Cat 6 uses 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors across four twisted pairs. This is the correct conductor specification for Cat 6 horizontal fixed runs under TIA-568 and ISO/IEC 11801, and the construction choice that directly separates this cable from the Easenet Indoor Semi-Copper variant.
Solid bare copper provides three specific advantages over CCA (copper-clad aluminium) conductors:
Lower DC resistance — Bare copper has significantly better electrical conductivity than aluminium at the same cross-section. Lower DC resistance per metre means lower signal attenuation, better PoE power delivery across the full run length, and consistent channel performance approaching the 100-metre channel limit.
Full TIA-568 / ISO/IEC 11801 compliance — Both the TIA-568 and ISO/IEC 11801 Cat 6 standards specify bare copper conductors. CCA cable meets basic Cat 6 electrical transmission requirements under test conditions but does not comply with the conductor material specification in these standards. The Easenet Indoor Copper UTP Cat 6 is fully compliant with both standards’ conductor requirements — making it the appropriate choice for installations where channel certification against TIA/EIA or ISO/IEC standards is a project requirement.
PoE reliability at standard run lengths — The higher DC resistance of CCA conductors limits PoE power delivery on longer runs, particularly for PoE+ (30W) and PoE++ (90W) devices. Bare copper maintains the low DC resistance required to deliver rated PoE power to devices at the far end of horizontal runs up to 90 metres — covering the full range of indoor camera, access point, and VoIP device installations without voltage drop becoming a limiting factor.
Termination reliability — Bare copper is more ductile and less brittle than CCA at 23 AWG, reducing the risk of conductor fracture during IDC punch-down termination and RJ45 field plug crimping. This improves first-pass termination success rates and reduces the incidence of open circuit faults caused by broken conductors at connection points.
Cable Construction
The Easenet Indoor Copper UTP Cat 6 cable is assembled from the following layers:
Conductors — 23 AWG solid bare copper, colour-coded across eight conductors forming four twisted pairs.
Insulation — Polyethylene insulation on individual conductors.
Built-in pair divider — An internal cross-filler (cross-spline) maintains physical separation between the four twisted pairs throughout the cable. This pair separation directly reduces near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and power sum NEXT (PS-NEXT) between pairs — the primary internal interference mechanisms that limit Cat 6 performance at 250 MHz. The divider is a standard Cat 6 construction feature that contributes to meeting the more stringent NEXT requirements of Cat 6 compared to Cat 5e.
Indoor PVC outer jacket — Standard indoor PVC provides mechanical protection suited to cable tray, above-ceiling void, and conduit installations within enclosed building envelopes. The jacket carries a rip cord to assist with jacket removal during termination. Sequential metre markings from 0 to 305m are printed on the jacket, enabling accurate length measurement during installation without additional tools.
Installation Characteristics
The 305-metre reel is the standard format for horizontal cabling projects. The pull-box packaging enables tangle-free cable payout during installation through walls, ceiling voids, conduit, and trunking. The 0-to-305m countdown marking system allows installers to read remaining cable length directly from the jacket during installation, simplifying cut-length planning on multi-run projects.
The cable terminates into standard Cat 6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 field plugs using standard 110-style IDC tooling — no specialist equipment is required. Bare copper conductors terminate correctly into all standard Cat 6 termination hardware without the additional care required for CCA conductors.

Ideal Users
- Structured Cabling Contractors on Commercial Projects — The Easenet Indoor Copper UTP Cat 6 provides a bare copper Cat 6 indoor cable verified to ISO/IEC 11801 and EIA/TIA standards — suitable for installations where channel certification is a handover requirement. The 23 AWG solid bare copper construction meets TIA-568 conductor compliance, and the sequential metre markings simplify multi-run length management on larger projects.
- SME and Corporate IT Infrastructure Teams — For organisations deploying or upgrading Gigabit LAN infrastructure in office environments, the full bare copper Easenet Cat 6 provides the performance and PoE reliability that the semi-copper variant cannot guarantee on PoE+ device runs. Investments in 802.11ax access points, IP cameras, and VoIP infrastructure are better protected by bare copper cabling that maintains rated PoE power delivery across horizontal run lengths.
- Education and Healthcare Facilities IT Teams — PoE-powered devices including 802.11ax access points, IP cameras, nurse call systems, and digital displays require reliable power delivery over Cat 6 cabling. The bare copper conductor’s lower DC resistance ensures rated PoE+ power reaches devices at the far end of horizontal runs in large building environments where run lengths vary significantly.
- Installers Upgrading from the Easenet Semi-Copper Variant — For projects where the semi-copper indoor cable was initially specified and a bare copper upgrade is required — due to PoE device additions, certification requirements, or longer run distances — the Easenet Indoor Copper UTP Cat 6 provides a like-for-like brand replacement at the bare copper specification level.
- Government and Institutional Procurement Teams — ISO/IEC 11801 and EIA/TIA verification, bare copper conductor compliance, and RoHS compliance collectively address the performance, standards compliance, and environmental specification requirements common in government, education, and public sector procurement frameworks for structured cabling components.
