If you're considering network cabling for your office or any other expansive area with numerous computers, Ethernet bulk cable could be a great choice. You might be unsure about what Ethernet bulk cable entails and the different cable categories available. This article aims to provide an overview of Ethernet bulk cable for your understanding.

What Is an Ethernet Bulk Cable?

An Ethernet bulk cable is a bulk cable among different types of network cables that usually consists of a conductor, insulation, and cable jacket, and there are 4 twisted pairs of copper for the conductor. Ethernet bulk cables refer to a large quantity of cable that come in extensive lengths—usually up to 1000 feet. This network cable is typically used to set up a network, to connect multiple computers (possibly in different rooms) and other devices to the server usually in offices and other businesses.

Compared with ordinary Ethernet cables, Ethernet bulk cables have two significant differences. The cable length is much longer than the usual few feet of patch cable. Moreover, Ethernet bulk cables have no connectors on the cable end. When using, you can use tools such as copper cable stripping and cutting to freely cut and install Ethernet bulk cables according to your needs.

Ethernet Bulk Cable Types

Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7 & Cat8 Ethernet Bulk Cable

There are different types of Ethernet bulk cables on the market, the most common of which are Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7, and Cat8 Ethernet bulk cable. The biggest difference between these Ethernet bulk cable types is their data transmission speed and bandwidth. In the order from cat5e to cat8, the latter type of cable is an updated version of the former one with higher cable speed and bandwidth. Take Cat6 cable as an example: Cat6 Ethernet Bulk Cable is capable of transmitting at a higher frequency than Cat5e, which means more reliable speeds and reduced crosstalk susceptibility.

Indoor vs. Outdoor Ethernet Bulk Cable

Classified by Ethernet cable use scenarios, they are divided into indoor and outdoor Ethernet bulk cables. The main difference between indoor and outdoor Ethernet bulk cables lies in the outer jacket. Jacketed with PVC materials, indoor Ethernet bulk cables are typically used for shorter distances and in office buildings or factories. They are not recorded for use outdoors because When exposed to sunlight, moisture, and extreme temp, their lifespan will be greatly shortened.

Jacketed with a double-layer PVC and LEDP, the outdoor Ethernet bulk cables are UV-resistant, waterproof, and weatherproof, allowing you to extend your internet connection even in the harshest environments. They also enable you to bury your lines underground while protecting your wires from various elements. Moreover, the outdoor Ethernet bulk cables can support high bandwidth up to 550 MHz and speeds up to 1000mbps giving you flawless uninterrupted connection for your home or workplace.

Multi-Scene Application of Ethernet Bulk Cable

When it comes to bulk Ethernet cable use, they can be applied in almost any field, in many scenarios, for various purposes. FS bulk Ethernet cables feature innovative craftsmanship, reliable quality, user-friendly design, easier installation with RJ45 connectors, and a toolless keystone jack, providing maximum flexibility to meet unique system requirements. They are ideal for multiple network applications, such as office cabling, hotel decoration, data centers, and more. If you are interested in more detailed information, the following is a video about the FS Cat6 Ethernet bulk cable application:

FAQ about Bulk Ethernet Cable

Does Having Multiple Ethernet Cables Reduce WIFI Speed?

Since the Ethernet is on a separate channel, it won't slow down WiFi speed at all. It might improve WiFi speed because you're taking one device off the network, thus improving the shared bandwidth for everyone.

A Shorter Ethernet Cable Features Faster Cable Speed?

The cable speed of longer Ethernet cables can be slower as latency increases the further the signal has to travel. However, Ethernet signals travel at around two-thirds the speed of light, so you likely won't notice any difference when comparing shorter lengths of cable.

Do LSZH Ethernet Bulk Cables Perform Differently from Ordinary Ones?

Jacketed with low-smoke halogen-free material, LSZH Ethernet bulk cables have relatively good safety performance and are more environmentally friendly than ordinary ones. Almost no acid gases like HCL and less smoke are released when burned, making them less harmful to the human body, the equipment, and the environment.
