They make stranded bulk cable, but there's really not much use for it.
Nobody wants to pay people to terminate cat6 patch cables. It's not cost effective compared to just buying premade cables of various lengths.
Maybe that's why you are downvoted? You are otherwise factually correct. You shouldn't use solid cable for patches...solid cable belongs in the wall/plenum to the back of the patch panel, where it doesn't get messed with. It's too fragile to be used outside of a wall.
Stranded is more flexible, making it better suited for patches, but it also doesn't punch-down into jacks as nicely (making it a poor choice for runs between patch panels/wall jacks)
Just...whatever you do...don't get CCA. Cheap crap shouldn't even be allowed to call itself CAT6.
