Bulk Cable FAQ – Coax | Cat5e-Cat7 | Thermostat | Speaker | CCA | Fiber Optic
1. What’s the attenuation of your RG6 quad-shield at 1 GHz?
6.3 dB per 100 ft—ideal for 4K satellite and DOCSIS 3.1 head-ends.
2. Is RG11 better than RG6 for long 4K HDMI extenders?
Yes—larger 14 AWG center, 4.3 dB/100 ft @ 1 GHz; recommended for >150 ft backbone runs.
3. Do your coax spools support MoCA 2.5 whole-home networking?
Absolutely—sweep-tested through 3 GHz with < −20 dB return loss in the 1175–1675 MHz MoCA band.
4. RG59 vs RG6 for 12G-SDI 4K broadcast?
Use our 18 AWG RG6 precision video (Belden 1694 equiv.)—meets SMPTE ST-2082 12 Gb/s up to 262 ft.
5. Max distance for Cat6 10 GbE?
55 m per TIA. For full 100 m 10 GbE, choose Cat6A 23 AWG S/FTP.
6. Shielded vs unshielded Cat6—when do I need F/UTP?
Use shielded in high-EMI zones (UPS rooms, hospitals) or when bundling 24+ PoE++ lines to reduce crosstalk & heat.
7. Does your outdoor direct-burial Cat6A have gel fill?
Yes—PE jacket + flooding compound blocks moisture; UV-black rated 20-year sun exposure.
8. Can Cat7 RJ45 cables do 40 GbE?
With GG45/TERA connectors, Cat7A (1000 MHz) supports 40 Gb/s to 30 m—our RJ45-terminated version runs 25 GbE flawlessly.
9. What’s the temp rating on plenum CMP Cat6A?
−20 °C to +75 °C; FEP jacketing meets NFPA 262 low-smoke.
10. Loop resistance of 23 AWG Cat6A for PoE++ 90 W?
≤ 0.44 Ω/100 m, meeting IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 requirements.
11. Is CCA cable UL listed?
No—CCA is ETL-verified for low-voltage but not UL; we mark reels clearly to keep life-safety circuits pure copper.
12. Can I run 4K IP cameras on Cat6 CCA?
Yes for PoE < 30 W and < 60 m, but solid copper is advised for long powered runs.
13. CL2 vs CL3 rated speaker wire?
CL3 handles 300 V surge vs 150 V for CL2—choose CL3 for distributed-audio 70 V systems.
14. Do you sell 16/4 in-wall speaker cable with ripcord?
Yes—16 AWG OFC, white CMP or CMR jacket, nylon ripcord for easy strip.
15. Thermostat cable color code?
Standard: R-red, C-blue, Y-yellow, W-white, G-green; our jackets print legend every 12 in.
16. What’s the max 10 Gb reach on OM3 vs OM4?
OM3 300 m @ 850 nm; OM4 400 m. Our aqua OM3 and magenta OM4 exceed ISO/IEC 11801.
17. Is bend-insensitive OS2 available?
Yes—G.657.A2 fiber ≤ 0.15 dB loss @ 1550 nm with 10 mm bend radius.
18. Armored fiber crush rating?
1500 N/100 mm; steel interlock armor protects against rodents & forklift wheels.
19. Can I mix Cat5e and Cat6 in the same 24-port patch panel?
Yes, but performance drops to the lowest category (Cat5e). Use Cat6 keystones for consistency.
20. What’s the recommended pulling tension for Cat6A?
≤ 25 lbf (110 N). Greater force can deform pair geometry and raise NEXT.
21. Do you pre-register cable footage every 2 ft on jackets?
Yes—sequential foot markers simplify pulls and inventory.
22. Is gel-filled Cat6 shielded against lightning?
Flooding gel blocks moisture; lightning protection depends on proper grounding & surge arrestors.
23. Can RG6 quad-shield be terminated with compression F-type?
Absolutely—use 21 mm strip & our CT-F6 tool for 360° hex-crimp.
24. Do your Cat6 reels support HDBaseT 4K 100 m?
Yes—our solid-copper Cat6 passes PSNEXT > 44 dB etc.; verified with Valens chipset analyzer.
25. Maximum bundle size for PoE to avoid heat rise in plenum?
ANSI/TIA-TSB-184-A: limit 30 cables @ 55 W in 25 °C plenum; our FEP Cat6A dissipates heat 20 % faster.
26. Fiber MPO trunk polarity options?
We supply Type A, B, or C; default is Type B (key-up/key-up) for parallel 40 Gb and 100 Gb links.
27. Does Cat7 need ground bonding at both ends?
Yes—shield must be bonded to patch-panel and switch chassis to control alien crosstalk.
28. Can 22/4 thermostat cable carry RS-485 Modbus?
Yes up to 1200 m @ 9600 bps; twist wires to improve noise immunity.
29. Is your RG6 rated 75 Ω ± 3 Ω?
Correct—impedance window 72–78 Ω measured by VNA.
30. What jacket material is used for low-smoke zero-halogen Cat7?
Halogen-free polyolefin meeting IEC 60754-1 (<0.5 mg HCl per g).
31. Can Cat5e CMR be used outdoors?
Only in conduit; UV exposure will crack PVC. Choose our UV-PE Cat5e Outdoor.
32. What certification do your fiber jumpers carry?
100 % interferometer & OTDR-tested; GR-326-CORE compliant.
33. Do you offer Siamese RG59 + 18/2 power?

34. Are Cat6A keystone jacks tool-less?
Yes—90 ° punch-down or tool-less IDC, color-coded T568A/B.
35. What’s the typical delay skew on Cat6 bundles?
≤ 45 ns/100 m; our spline design averages 27 ns, ideal for VoIP.
36. Can armored fiber be run in tray without conduit?
Yes—interlock armor replaces metal conduit in NEC 770.113.

Remove outer jacket, fold outer braid & foil back, trim dielectric ¼ in, insert into F-connector until flush.
38. Are there CMP thermostat cables?
Yes—18/8 & 18/2 plenum thermostat, red CMP jacket.
39. HDMI over Cat6—does your Cat6 support 4K 60 Hz extenders?
Yes—solid copper, <350 MHz NVP ensures ≤ 1 ns/m skew required by HDBaseT.
40. What’s the crush resistance of outdoor Cat6 direct-burial?
≥ 1100 N/100 mm per IEC 60794-1-21.
41. Do you provide wooden or plastic reels?
Wood standard on 1000 ft coax & Cat reels; plastic payout box on 500 ft indoor Cat6.
42. Is PoE safe on CCA Cat5e?
Up to 15 W (802.3af) only; higher loads overheat—use pure copper.
43. Do fiber spools include pulling eyes?
Yes—factory-installed Kevlar pulling grips on ≥1000 ft reels.
