StarTech WIRC6CMPBLU 1000ft Bulk Cat6 Cable CMP Plenum Rated

Overview :

The StarTech WIRC6CMPBLU is a high-grade 1000ft (304.8m) bulk Ethernet cable engineered for high-density networking in plenum spaces. This Category 6 cable features 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors, providing superior electrical conductivity and signal reliability compared to inferior copper-clad aluminum (CCA) cables. It is specifically designed for installation in air-handling spaces, such as drop ceilings and raised floors, where CMP (Plenum) fire safety ratings are mandatory.

Technically, the cable is rated for bandwidths up to 550MHz, exceeding the standard Cat6 threshold to ensure stable 1Gbps and 10Gbps (short-range) data throughput. The blue jacket allows for easy color-coding of network runs in complex infrastructure environments. To facilitate deployment, the cable is packaged in a "Reel-in-Box" for tangle-free pulling and features sequential foot markers for precise measurement.

This cabling is optimized for commercial installations, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions requiring compliance with National Electrical Code (NEC) fire safety standards. It is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design, best suited for environments without high levels of electromagnetic interference. This bulk cable requires professional termination with Cat6 rated RJ45 connectors or patch panels.

key features :

• CMP Plenum rating meets strict fire safety codes for air-duct installation.

• 23 AWG solid copper conductors ensure maximum signal and PoE delivery.

• 550MHz frequency support exceeds standard Cat6 performance requirements.

• Blue jacket enables clear identification and organization of network paths.

• Tangle-free Reel-in-Box design reduces installation time and cable waste.
