Since 1986, Proterial Cable America has been a trusted Ethernet cable manufacturer for arenas, schools, prisons, hospitals, and more. With cables engineered to be lighter and smaller without compromising speed, our solutions are ideal for high-demand applications and space-constrained environments. We employ rigorous quality control measures and utilize the highest-quality materials to ensure our wide selection of network cables meets or exceeds industry standards and withstands the harshest environments, including indoor and outdoor applications.
Whether you are connecting WIFI access points, installing cable for data centers, or need great cabling that can run through wet places and plenum spaces, Proterial Cable America is the Ethernet cable manufacturing company that you’ve been looking for.
All of our high-quality products are proudly made in the USA, showcasing our commitment to superior craftsmanship, innovation, and performance.
Proterial Cable America is proud to be fully compliant with electrical industry standards. Most of our products are UL-Verified and deliver electrical performance that exceeds the ANSI/TIA 568.D-2 standard.
Our 300,000 sq ft warehouse is equipped with 150 operating lines and machines for armoring, extrusion, cabling, jacketing, braiding, and corrugating. We also use cameras on our product lines to ensure that our strict standards are maintained.
Proterial Cable America has a long legacy of specializing in high-performance metals. Our deep understanding of high-polymer material technology and metal materials enables our Ethernet cable manufacturing team to carefully select materials that make our cables lighter, smaller, and thinner than those of our competitors.
We offer a comprehensive range of Ethernet cables, including both shielded and unshielded flat cables, as well as patch cables. Our products are well-suited for various environments, including healthcare facilities, data centers, educational institutions, and industrial settings.
Our cables are typically available in 1,000-foot reels. For specific length options and detailed information, please contact us to discuss your requirements and ensure you get the exact lengths needed for your project.
Category 6 is a strong choice for standard office, campus, and home networks that need reliable 1 Gbps performance up to 100 meters, and it is a clear upgrade over Category 5e. Category 6A is designed for 10 Gbps and higher frequencies up to 500 MHz, which makes it better suited to data centers, Wi-Fi 6 access points, and other bandwidth-intensive applications where you want more headroom and a longer upgrade cycle. If you are unsure which mix of Cat6/Cat6a products you need, our Category Cable Application Matrix and Quick Reference Sheet can help map categories to specific use cases.
Unshielded cables work well in typical office and educational environments with low electrical noise and are easier to terminate and route. Shielded designs, such as F/UTP or U/FTP, add foil or braid to protect against EMI and alien crosstalk, which is especially important around heavy machinery, dense cable bundles, or in applications like industrial ethernet cables and data centers. Proterial Cable America is a leading manufacturer of both unshielded and shielded Category 6 and 6A families so you can match the construction to your noise environment and installation practices.
Standard indoor premise cables are designed for conditioned spaces like offices, telecom rooms, and classrooms, where they are installed in riser or plenum pathways. DryBit indoor/outdoor cables are built to run through wet slabs, below-grade conduit, and into plenum spaces without changing cable types, and they are UL verified for long-term water submersion and UV resistance. Outdoor OSP and shielded outdoor Category 6A cables add jacket constructions and ratings for full outdoor exposure or direct burial, so they are used when the run is largely outside the building envelope. Proterial Cable America supplies these as 1,000-foot reels so you can pull them as bulk cables across long routes.
Yes, but you need the right family. Proterial Cable America’s Category 6 and 6A DryBit cables are specifically designed for wet or below-grade conduit and are UL verified for long-term water submersion, with a barrier system that maintains electrical performance even when water is present. These constructions are also resistant to more than 2,000 chemicals and have UV-resistant jackets, making them suitable for many harsh industrial and outdoor applications where standard indoor cable would degrade prematurely. If your project mixes copper and fiber optic runs, our company offers indoor/outdoor fiber families so you can keep a consistent vendor across the entire link.
Proterial Cable America manufactures its Ethernet and Category 6A cables in a 300,000-square-foot facility in Manchester, New Hampshire, so your network infrastructure is supported by U.S.-based production. Many of our products are designed to meet applicable ANSI/TIA performance requirements, and Build America, Buy America compliance is confirmed at the part-number level. Our team can provide documentation for specific projects and help you select constructions that align with your funding and domestic content requirements, which is one reason many view us as the best ethernet cable brand for U.S.-made network cabling in public and infrastructure work.
Let’s bring your project to life with the high-performance Ethernet cables you need to drive innovation and build a better future.
