Genesis Cable 51931108 Cat6a Riser 23AWG 4-pair Cmr 1000ft Black

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 51931108 is a Cat6a riser-rated ethernet cable engineered for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. This cable runs 23 AWG conductors in a 4-pair configuration and carries both CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) and FT4 flame ratings, making it compliant for vertical runs between floors. It supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, meeting ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 performance standards for augmented Category 6 cabling. The cable ships in a 1,000-foot pull box in black jacket, suited for installation by low-voltage and voice-data-video (VDV) technicians on structured cabling projects.

This Cat6a riser cable is intended for in-wall and in-conduit backbone and horizontal runs in multi-story commercial buildings, office environments, data centers, and residential structured wiring installations. The CMR and FT4 flame ratings allow vertical riser installation without the need for conduit in most jurisdictions, subject to local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) approval. Black jacket color aids in color-coded cable management schemes commonly used on commercial job sites.

Key Features

• 23 AWG solid copper conductors in 4-pair configuration for full Cat6a performance
• CMR riser flame rating compliant with NEC Article 800 riser requirements
• FT4 flame rating satisfies Canadian electrical code vertical flame test requirements
• Supports 10GBase-T Ethernet applications up to 500 MHz bandwidth
• Ships in a 1,000-foot pull box for clean, tangle-free field deployment
• Black PVC jacket for easy identification in color-coded cabling systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Cat6a riser cable for use with standard 8P8C (RJ45) keystone jacks, patch panels, and field-termination connectors rated for Cat6a or higher performance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or VDV installer in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. Maintain the cable bend radius minimum during pulls and avoid over-cinching cable ties, as excessive compression on Cat6a unshielded cable can degrade pair geometry and reduce high-frequency performance. Terminate both ends with Cat6a-rated keystone jacks or patch panel ports using the manufacturer-specified T568A or T568B wiring standard consistently across the run. All riser penetrations through fire-rated floor and wall assemblies must be properly fire-stopped per local building code requirements.
