Brozzag BG-R-Cat6/5E-1000FT-BU Cat6 Ethernet Cable, 23 AWG CCA, 550 MHz

The 1,000-foot spool of blue, round UTP Ethernet cable is designed for bulk network runs rather than connecting a single device with a finished patch cable. Its 23 AWG solid copper-clad aluminum conductors and easy-pull box make it relevant for routing cable through a home or small-business network installation.

The listing identifies Cat5e/Cat6 support, a 550 MHz frequency, and up to 10 Gbps for short runs. That speed is a stated capability, not a guarantee for every network: the connected equipment and the completed run also matter.

Worth noting

The central tradeoff is the conductor material. This cable uses CCA rather than solid copper, which the product information presents as a lighter, lower-cost choice for budget-conscious projects. It is described as suitable for Gigabit and 10G networking, but the listing specifically qualifies 10 Gbps for short-run applications. For a demanding installation, consider the run length and the requirements of the equipment before choosing a bulk cable based on the headline speed alone.

There is also inconsistent fire-rating language in the product information. The name and included-component details call it plenum-rated, while the feature description identifies a CMR riser-rated jacket. Those terms do not identify the same rating. If the cable will be installed inside a building, confirm the required rating for the intended route with the seller or a qualified installer rather than relying on the product title alone.

The easy-pull box is a practical format for cutting cable to length across several runs. Continuous foot and meter markers are described as part of the cable, which can help with measuring and planning cuts. The jacket is also presented as flexible for conduit routing, though actual installation depends on the route and setup.

How it fits

This is a cable for building network runs, not a ready-to-use patch lead: the listing describes bulk cable and does not specify pre-terminated connectors. For example, someone wiring a home office and a nearby media area could pull separate runs from a network location and cut each to the needed length. The stated compatible devices include routers, servers, PCs, laptops, televisions, printers, projectors, and gaming consoles, but the installer would need to account for the endpoints and installation method.

The listing mentions indoor and outdoor use, as well as weather, UV, and moisture resistance. Those claims may matter for a route exposed to the elements, but they do not remove the need to check whether the cable and installation method are appropriate for the specific location. For high-power PoE equipment, such as high-wattage access points or PTZ cameras, the product information recommends consulting technical support for cable selection.

Who it’s for

It suits you if you need bulk Ethernet cable for multiple custom-length runs and want an easy-pull box with measurement markings. A smaller pre-terminated cable is a simpler choice for connecting one nearby device, this spool makes more sense when the job involves routing and cutting cable as part of a larger setup.

It may not suit you if your installation requires confirmed plenum-rated cable and you cannot resolve the listing’s conflicting rating descriptions, or if you need a finished cable with connectors already attached. The product details identify male-to-male RJ45 connectors as a cable specification, but the included component is described as bulk UTP cable, so don’t assume it arrives terminated.

Final verdict

Brozzag’s 1,000-foot cable is aimed at network installations where the spool format, cut-to-length runs, and 23 AWG CCA construction fit the project. Its stated 550 MHz frequency and short-run 10 Gbps capability provide useful selection details, but the CCA conductors and unclear fire-rating description deserve attention. Choose it for a bulk wiring job when those materials and ratings match the installation requirements, for plenum spaces or high-power PoE, get the rating or technical guidance confirmed first.
