Panduit PFR6X04BU-CG Cat 6A Copper Riser Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT PFR6X04BU-CG is a Category 6A copper data cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. Constructed with 23 AWG conductors, this riser-rated (CMR) cable supports high-speed network infrastructure where cable runs pass between floors through non-plenum vertical pathways. It is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure contractors working to TIA-568 standards. The Cat 6A rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it a standard choice for high-bandwidth horizontal and backbone cabling runs.

This cable is suited for commercial office, educational, healthcare, and light industrial structured cabling projects. It is used in horizontal runs from telecommunications rooms to work area outlets, as well as vertical backbone segments in riser shafts. The riser (CMR) fire rating qualifies it for use in vertical runs between floors where plenum-rated cable is not required by the local authority having jurisdiction. Installers typically deploy this cable with Cat 6A-rated keystone jacks, patch panels, and field-termination tooling.

Key Features

• Category 6A rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at up to 500 MHz
• 23 AWG copper conductors for low-resistance, high-performance signal transmission
• Riser (CMR) fire rating for vertical inter-floor cable runs in non-plenum spaces
• Sold individually (per unit) for straightforward quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat 6A riser cable for use with TIA-568-compliant Cat 6A termination hardware including keystone jacks, patch panels, and cable management systems rated for Category 6A performance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local building codes. Verify with the authority having jurisdiction whether riser or plenum-rated cable is required for the specific pathway before installation. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid exceeding the cable pull tension rating during routing to preserve transmission performance. Terminate only with Cat 6A-rated connectors and hardware to maintain the channel performance rating.
