Belden Inc. 3613 D15U1000 Cat6 Plenum Cable Cmp Blue

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 3613 D15U1000 is a Category 6 plenum-rated Ethernet cable designed for structured wiring installations in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings. This 4-pair unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable carries a CMP (Communications Multipurpose Plenum) rating, making it compliant for use in plenum air spaces where low-smoke and flame-spread requirements apply. The blue jacket finish aids in cable plant organization and color-coded pathway identification. It is installed by low-voltage technicians, network contractors, and licensed electricians working on data infrastructure projects in commercial and institutional buildings.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in commercial office environments, schools, hospitals, and other facilities where plenum-rated cabling is required by code. The CMP rating satisfies NFPA 90A requirements for plenum spaces. The 1000-foot pull box format supports full-floor horizontal distribution runs and reduces the need for mid-run splices. It supports standard Cat6 performance requirements for high-speed data networking applications in structured cabling systems.

Key Features

• CMP plenum rating meets NFPA 90A requirements for air-handling and plenum spaces
• 4-pair unshielded twisted-pair construction for Cat6 data transmission
• Blue jacket for cable plant color coding and pathway identification
• 1000-foot pull box format minimizes waste and supports long horizontal runs
• Suitable for commercial structured cabling installations under NEC Article 800

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum Cat6 cable for use with standard 8P8C (RJ45) terminations, patch panels, and keystone jacks rated for Category 6 performance in commercial structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. De-energize any adjacent powered infrastructure before pulling cable through conduit or plenum pathways. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the cable minimum bend radius and do not exceed recommended pulling tension to prevent pair distortion. Terminate using Cat6-rated punch-down tools and hardware only.
