Prysmian Cables Systems 7131100 CAT6 Plenum Cable

Product Description

The PRYSMIAN CABLES SYSTEMS 7131100 is a CAT6 plenum-rated copper network cable designed for structured wiring installations in commercial and institutional buildings. Plenum-rated construction meets CMP (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Plenum) fire and smoke standards required when cables are routed through air-handling spaces such as drop ceilings and raised floors. The cable delivers the bandwidth and performance specifications of the CAT6 standard, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and higher-speed data transmission. Low-smoke, flame-retardant jacket material is a core requirement for plenum environments, and this cable is built to that specification. Low-voltage data installers and structured cabling contractors are the primary trade audience for this product.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in commercial office buildings, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and any structure where air-handling plenum spaces are used for cable routing. It is appropriate for new construction and retrofit structured cabling projects that require compliance with plenum fire codes. Installations follow TIA-568 structured cabling standards and relevant local fire and building codes. The cable ships as a single unit (sold per reel or box as packaged by the manufacturer).

Key Features

• CMP-rated plenum jacket meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• CAT6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-T applications up to rated distances
• Blue jacket color for easy identification and labeling in patch panels and cable trays
• Designed for commercial structured cabling environments requiring code-compliant plenum installation
• Sold as a single unit (EA) per order line

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum-rated CAT6 cable suitable for use with standard CAT6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 field-termination connectors compliant with TIA-568-C.2 wiring specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or structured cabling contractor familiar with TIA-568 standards and local fire and building codes. Do not exceed the manufacturer-rated bend radius or pull tension during cable pulls, as exceeding these limits can degrade CAT6 performance. All plenum cable routing must comply with applicable sections of NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 800 governing communications wiring in air-handling spaces. Terminate only with CAT6-rated keystone jacks and patch panels using a 110-style punch-down tool to maintain pair twist integrity.
