Genesis Cable 53931101 Cat6a Plenum Cable 23 Awg 4-pair

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 53931101 is a Cat6a plenum-rated network cable designed for structured cabling installations in air-handling spaces and plenum plenums where low-smoke, flame-retardant jacket materials are required by code. Built with 23 AWG conductors in a 4-pair configuration, this cable meets CMP (Communications Multipurpose Plenum) and FT6 ratings, making it suitable for horizontal runs in commercial and institutional buildings. The white jacket finish allows for clean identification in cable trays and overhead pathways. Network installers, low-voltage technicians, and structured cabling contractors are the primary trades working with this product.

This cable is used in plenum-rated horizontal cabling runs serving data, VoIP, and PoE applications in commercial offices, healthcare facilities, schools, and similar environments. Cat6a supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it appropriate for high-bandwidth backbone and workstation drops. It ships in a 1000-foot pull box, which is the standard format for in-wall and overhead tray installations. The white jacket is a common choice for ceiling and plenum spaces where color coding by zone is standard practice.

Key Features

• CMP and FT6 plenum ratings meet fire code requirements for air-handling spaces
• 23 AWG 4-pair construction supports Cat6a performance standards
• Rated for 10-Gigabit Ethernet and high-frequency structured cabling applications
• White jacket for easy visual identification in trays and overhead pathways
• 1000-foot pull box format simplifies on-site dispensing during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a CMP-rated Cat6a horizontal cable for use with standard 110-style punch-down blocks, Cat6a keystone jacks, and patch panels in commercial structured cabling systems conforming to TIA-568 standards.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and structured cabling contractors typically install plenum cable in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 and applicable local fire codes. Always verify that plenum-rated cable is required by the authority having jurisdiction before substituting CMP for CMR or CM rated cable. Avoid sharp bend radii and do not exceed the cable's rated pulling tension during installation. All terminations should be made with Cat6a-rated tooling to maintain channel performance.
