Choose 305m network cable reels by verifying cable category, conductor, shielding, jacket rating and installation environment.
305m network cable reels: How do I choose a 305m network cable reel?
Choose a network cable reel by matching the required category, conductor type, shielding, jacket rating and installation environment to the network design. Confirm the cable’s standards and performance with the manufacturer, and use compatible connectors and installation methods.
For more information, see the linked published guide. Confirm current models, pricing, stock and warranty with Richcom before ordering.
What cable category should I select?
Choose the category required by the network specification and connected equipment. Confirm the entire installed link, including jacks, patch panels and patch cords, meets the desired performance.
Should I choose solid or stranded conductors?
Bulk horizontal cable is commonly selected for fixed runs, while patch cords use flexible stranded cable; verify the manufacturer’s intended installation and termination. Match connectors and modules to the conductor type.
What should I check for indoor or outdoor runs?
Check the jacket’s fire and environmental rating against the building route and local requirements. Plan bend radius, pulling tension, separation from power and testing after installation.

Frequently asked questions
Check the product datasheet and package details for the stated length and tolerances.
Use cable for its intended installation type and compatible plugs. Solid-conductor bulk cable is not generally a substitute for flexible patch cords.
Shielding and grounding requirements depend on the environment and network design. Match cable, connectors and installation practice.
Test the completed link using appropriate equipment against the relevant cabling performance requirements.
