A 500m reel of CAT6 installation cable, rated to 250MHz for Gigabit Ethernet at up to 100 metres, with 10GBASE-T possible on shorter links of around 55 metres.
Stranded copper cores keep it flexible, so it is the cable to use for making up your own patch leads with crimp plugs made for stranded wire. It uses an overall foil wrap around the four pairs (F/UTP) to keep outside electrical noise out.
Its LSZH sheath produces minimal smoke and no halogen fumes if it burns, which many commercial buildings require.
Plan each permanent link at no more than 90 metres, leaving room for patch leads within the 100 metre Ethernet channel.
