  • CMR riser fire rating meets commercial building codes
  • 1000 ft spool provides ample length for large installations
  • PE jacket resists moisture and meets GR-421-CORE water penetration standard

General Cable GenSpeed Cat 6 Cable

This General Cable GenSpeed 7136100 is a Category 6 data cable built for structured wiring projects. It supplies 1000 ft of solid 23 AWG conductors in an unshielded four-pair construction. Installers and network technicians use it for horizontal runs that require verified 250 MHz bandwidth.

Replaces older Category 5 or 5e links

The cable upgrades installations that currently run at 100 MHz by delivering 250 MHz maximum frequency under ANSI/TIA 568-C.2. The jump is worth it when the network plan calls for Gigabit Ethernet headroom or when building codes demand a CMR riser rating. Existing Category 5 infrastructure that meets current speed needs does not require this change.

Limited by Category 6 electrical specs

The unshielded design and solid conductors set a 1 in bend radius and a 176 Degrees F maximum operating temperature. Performance is defined by the 250 MHz ceiling in the ANSI/TIA 568-C.2 and ISO 11801 standards. Runs that need higher frequencies, shielded pairs, or plenum fire ratings fall outside this cable's rated scope.

Highlights

  • Cat 6 rating supports 250 MHz bandwidth for gigabit networks
  • 23 AWG solid conductors reduce signal loss over long runs
  • CMR riser fire rating meets commercial building codes
  • 1000 ft spool provides ample length for large installations
  • PE jacket resists moisture and meets GR-421-CORE water penetration standard

Questions about this item

What conduit or pathway size does the 1/4 in outside diameter and 1 in bend radius require for this Cat 6 cable?

The cable has a 1/4 in outside diameter and a 1 in minimum bend radius, so allow at least a 1 in radius on every bend and choose conduit or raceway sized for a 1/4 in cable bundle.

How is the solid 23 AWG conductor terminated, and what step do installers often miss?

Strip each solid 23 AWG wire, seat it in the IDC slots of a Cat 6 jack or patch panel following the T568A or T568B colour code, then punch down — the step often missed is keeping the pair twists within 1/2 in of the termination point.

When should the PE jacket cable be inspected or replaced after installation?

Inspect the black PE jacket if the cable is exposed to temperatures above 176 Degrees F, shows physical damage, or fails a 250 MHz certification test; replace any section that no longer meets ANSI/TIA 568-C.2 performance limits.
