Plenum-Rated Shielded Cat6 Cable

This Cat6 plenum shielded cable meets CMP fire-safety requirements for installation in air-handling spaces above suspended ceilings or below raised floors. It contains four twisted pairs of 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors with an overall foil shield. The construction supports Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet links in commercial and residential structured-wiring projects.

Bandwidth Verified to 550 MHz

Each reel delivers 1000 feet of cable tested to a 550 MHz bandwidth, providing headroom beyond the Cat6 standard for sustained high-throughput traffic. The centre spline separates the pairs to reduce cross-talk during continuous data streams, while the HDPE insulation maintains consistent electrical performance over long runs.

Low-Smoke Jacket for Plenum Safety

The low-smoke, flame-retardant jacket limits toxic emissions and flame spread in plenum environments. Solid bare copper conductors give lower attenuation than copper-clad alternatives, reducing the power needed at the switch. A built-in rip cord runs the full length to simplify jacket removal without nicking the shielded pairs.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 23 AWG solid bare copper conductor generate during continuous 10‑Gigabit Ethernet traffic?

The cable is passive and carries only data signals, so it produces no measurable heat during normal operation even at full 550 MHz bandwidth.

What connectors and tools must I already own to terminate this 1000 ft plenum‑rated reel?

You need RJ45 plugs or keystone jacks rated for 23 AWG solid wire, a compatible crimp or punch‑down tool, and a cable stripper for the HDPE insulation.

Will this Cat6 plenum shielded cable work with my existing Cat5e patch panels and Gigabit switches?

Yes, it is fully backward compatible; the shield simply requires grounded hardware at both ends, otherwise it functions as standard Cat6.
