Belden Inc. 2413F D15Z500 Cat6 F/utp Cmp Plenum Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 2413F D15Z500 is a Category 6 Plus foil-shielded, unshielded twisted pair (F/UTP) data cable rated for plenum (CMP) installation environments. It consists of four twisted pairs and carries a blue jacket, making it identifiable in high-density structured cabling installations. The CMP rating means the cable meets strict fire and smoke requirements mandated for use in air-handling plenum spaces. Low-voltage cabling contractors and network infrastructure technicians are the primary installers of this cable in commercial and enterprise settings.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in commercial buildings, data centers, schools, healthcare facilities, and any structure where air-handling ceiling or raised-floor plenum spaces are present. The F/UTP construction provides a foil shield around all four pairs, reducing susceptibility to electromagnetic interference (EMI) in environments with dense electrical infrastructure. It supports Cat6-level data transmission performance, making it appropriate for Gigabit Ethernet and similar structured cabling applications.

Key Features

• Category 6 Plus performance supports high-speed data transmission in structured cabling systems
• F/UTP construction provides overall foil shielding for improved EMI rejection
• CMP plenum rating meets fire and smoke propagation requirements for air-handling spaces
• Four twisted pairs in a single jacket for organized, standards-compliant horizontal cabling runs
• Blue jacket aids in cable identification and color-coded infrastructure management

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution compatible with Cat6 patch panels, keystone jacks, and modular outlets in standard 568-compliant horizontal cabling installations.

Installation Notes

This cable should be installed by a licensed low-voltage cabling contractor in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local building codes. Always verify that the plenum rating is required by the authority having jurisdiction before substituting a non-CMP cable in air-handling spaces. De-energize any adjacent live circuits before pulling cable through shared pathways, and avoid sharp bends or excessive pull tension that could compromise the foil shield or pair geometry.
