Cable in those plenums has to be CMP rated, because in a fire the air handling system would carry smoke from burning cable through the whole building. This cable's FEP-insulated conductors and low-smoke, flame-retardant jacket are what earn that rating and its ETL Listing. The 23 AWG solid copper conductors are a size up from Cat5e, which is where Cat6 gets its lower loss and its headroom for 2.5G and 5G links.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes in a 1000 ft pull box with footage markings on the jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCMP plenum rated, ETL Listed.\u003c\/strong\u003e Approved for ceiling and floor plenums, and for every other indoor space too, since CMP is the highest rating in the family.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e23 AWG solid bare copper.\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavier than Cat5e's 24 AWG, for lower resistance over a full 100 m channel and less voltage drop on PoE runs.

If you're not sure whether a ceiling is a plenum, ask the building engineer or the AHJ before pulling. Cat6 carries 10G over short distances only; for 10G on a full channel, use Cat6A. FEP-insulated 23 AWG cable is stiffer than Cat5e, so respect the bend radius, about four times the cable diameter, and use Cat6-rated jacks and patch panels, since the thicker conductor won't seat properly in Cat5e hardware. Solid conductors are for permanent runs; terminate on jacks and patch panels, not crimped plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\t\u003cthead\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003e\n\t\t\t\tSpec\n\t\t\t\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003e\n\t\t\t\tDetail\n\t\t\t\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tSeries\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tC6PLMETL\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tCategory\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tCat6, ANSI\/TIA-568.2-D\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tConstruction\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tUTP (unshielded twisted pair)\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tConductors\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\t23 AWG solid bare copper, 4 pairs \/ 8 conductors\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tInsulation\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tFEP\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tPair Colors\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tTIA-568: blue, orange, green, brown\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tJacket\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tLow-smoke FR-PVC, CMP rated\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tOuter Diameter\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\t6.0 ± 0.2 mm\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tFootage Markings\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tSequential, printed on jacket\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tPackaging\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\t1000 ft (305 m) pull box\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tColors\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tBlack, Blue, Gray, Orange, Red, White, Yellow\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tCompliance\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tETL Listed, RoHS\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tAvailability\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tMarked-down colors are final sale and not eligible for return or cancellation\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\n","brand":"Patch Cords Online","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":44875153572162,"sku":"C6PLMETL-1000BLK","price":258.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":44875153604930,"sku":"C6PLMETL-1000BLU","price":258.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gray","offer_id":47119447392578,"sku":"C6PLMETL-1000GRY","price":258.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange","offer_id":47119447425346,"sku":"C6PLMETL-1000ORA","price":229.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":44875153637698,"sku":"C6PLMETL-1000RED","price":258.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":44875153670466,"sku":"C6PLMETL-1000WHI","price":258.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow","offer_id":47119447490882,"sku":"C6PLMETL-1000YEL","price":229.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/2175\/5714\/products\/black-cat6-23awg-ul-solid-plenum-ethernet-cable.jpg?v=1676394441","url":"https:\/\/patchcordsonline.com\/products\/cat6-plenum-utp-ethernet-cable-23","provider":"Patch Cords Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
