Doing my first job using ethernet I/P control with Control Logix and Flex I/O ethernet adapters. The spec requires CAT 6 cable. I wanted to buy good quality cable and it needs to be white. I tried to find Belden but having a hard time. Is this something I really need to be concerned about or does it matter as long as it conforms to the CAT 6 standard? One place I looked online had American made and imported cable. The imported was about $40 cheaper for 1000'. I've seen prices anywhere from $130 to $300 for 1000' of non-plenum cable.
