Belden Inc. M58286 CAT6 Plenum Cable Green Reel

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. M58286 is a CAT6 plenum-rated network cable supplied on a reel in green jacket color. Plenum-rated cables are manufactured with low-smoke, flame-retardant insulation materials that meet the fire and smoke requirements for installation inside air-handling spaces, also called plenum spaces, in commercial and residential buildings. This cable delivers the performance characteristics required for structured cabling installations supporting Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed data applications. It is typically installed by licensed electricians, low-voltage cabling contractors, and network infrastructure technicians.

The M58286 is suited for horizontal runs inside walls, ceilings, and air-handling plenums where building codes require plenum-rated cable. The green jacket aids in color-coded cable management schemes common in commercial data centers, office buildings, and campus infrastructure projects. The reel format is appropriate for bulk installation pulls over longer distances.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated jacket meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling space installation
• CAT6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data network applications
• Green jacket color supports color-coded cable plant organization
• Supplied on a reel for bulk cable pulls and structured cabling projects
• Low-smoke flame-retardant insulation material suited for commercial building environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CAT6 plenum bulk cable for use with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and CAT6-rated termination hardware in structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation in plenum spaces must comply with applicable sections of the National Electrical Code (NEC), including Article 800 for communications wiring. Power down or de-energize adjacent circuits before working in shared plenum or ceiling spaces. Use a cable tester after termination to verify CAT6 performance and continuity. Low-voltage cabling work may require a licensed contractor depending on local jurisdiction requirements.
