Belden Inc. 2413 010U1000 Cat6 Plenum Cable U/utp

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 2413 010U1000 is a Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) data cable rated CMP (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Plenum) for installation in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings. The cable consists of four bonded pairs and is engineered to meet Cat6 performance requirements for high-speed structured cabling systems. Its plenum rating means it uses a low-smoke, flame-retardant jacket compound that meets the fire and smoke requirements for plenum-rated pathways. This product ships in a 1000-foot pull box for straightforward job-site management. It is installed by licensed low-voltage contractors, data cabling technicians, and licensed electricians performing structured wiring work.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in commercial and institutional buildings where plenum-rated pathways are required by code. Typical applications include office buildings, schools, hospitals, and other facilities where Cat6 performance and plenum fire ratings are mandated. It supports Gigabit Ethernet, PoE, and other high-speed data protocols over copper infrastructure. The 1000-foot box format is standard for commercial cable pulls serving workstation drops, access points, and IP device connections.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and PoE applications
• CMP plenum jacket rating meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• U/UTP construction with four unshielded twisted pairs
• 1000-foot pull box reduces tangling and aids controlled cable management on the job site
• Low-smoke flame-retardant jacket compound for code-compliant plenum installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 U/UTP plenum horizontal cable compatible with Cat6-rated jacks, patch panels, and keystone connectors in structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or data cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local codes. Plenum-rated cable is required by the NEC in air-handling spaces and must not be substituted with riser or general-purpose cable in those pathways. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius and do not exceed maximum pulling tension during installation to maintain pair geometry and cable performance.
