Belden Inc. 2413 D151000 Cat6 U/utp Cmp Plenum Cable Reel

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 2413 D151000 is a Category 6 unshielded twisted-pair (U/UTP) data cable rated for plenum (CMP) air-handling spaces. The cable consists of four twisted pairs and meets CMP flame and smoke requirements, making it suitable for installation inside HVAC plenum ceilings and air ducts where standard PVC-jacketed cable is not permitted by code. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this cable for structured wiring in commercial and institutional buildings. Its Cat6 rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed data applications common in modern network infrastructure.

This cable is used in horizontal runs within commercial, institutional, and large residential structured cabling systems where plenum-rated materials are required by the National Electrical Code. Typical installations include office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and data centers where cable is routed through air-handling ceiling plenums. The reel format is suited for longer pull lengths on new construction and large retrofit projects.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transmission
• U/UTP construction with four unshielded twisted pairs
• CMP plenum rating meets NEC requirements for air-handling space installations
• Reel packaging designed for extended cable pulls in commercial environments
• Reduced flame spread and low smoke emission consistent with CMP jacket compounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution compatible with standard Cat6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 termination hardware used in EIA/TIA 568 compliant horizontal cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling contractor or qualified network technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. De-energize all adjacent electrical circuits before pulling cable through plenums and conduit pathways. Observe the manufacturer bend radius and pulling tension limits during installation to maintain Cat6 signal integrity. Do not kink, crush, or staple the cable, as physical damage can degrade pair geometry and transmission performance.
