Belden Inc. M59145 Cat6a U/utp Cmp Plenum Cable Reel

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. M59145 is a Category 6A unshielded twisted-pair data cable rated for plenum (CMP) installation environments. It features a 4-pair U/UTP construction that meets the performance demands of 10-Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth structured cabling applications. The CMP plenum rating means the jacket compound meets strict flame and smoke requirements for use in air-handling spaces without conduit. This cable ships on a reel and is installed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians and electricians working on horizontal runs in commercial and institutional buildings.

This cable is designed for horizontal structured cabling installations in commercial office buildings, healthcare facilities, education campuses, and data centers. It supports 10GBase-T and other IEEE 802.3an applications requiring Cat6A channel performance. The plenum rating makes it appropriate for above-ceiling and raised-floor air-handling spaces where standard CMR-rated cable is not code-compliant. Installers pulling long horizontal runs will find the reel format reduces kinking and tangling during termination work.

Key Features

• Cat6A performance supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet over full 100-meter horizontal runs
• U/UTP construction with 4 unshielded twisted pairs
• CMP plenum jacket rating meets NFPA 262 flame and smoke requirements
• White jacket for easy identification in structured cabling installations
• Reel format facilitates clean, high-volume horizontal cable pulls

Compatibility

Designed for use in Cat6A structured cabling systems terminating to standard Cat6A-rated jacks, patch panels, and modular connectors per ANSI/TIA-568-C.2-1 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 800 and applicable local codes. Maintain the manufacturer-specified minimum bend radius and avoid exceeding maximum pulling tension during installation to preserve pair geometry and insertion-loss performance. In plenum spaces, confirm the cable pathway and air-handling designation before substituting a lower-rated cable. Terminate all pairs using Cat6A-rated tooling and jacks to achieve a compliant channel.
