Prysmian Cables Systems 8131800 CAT6 Plenum Cable 22AWG

Product Description

The PRYSMIAN CABLES SYSTEMS 8131800 is a CAT6 plenum-rated Ethernet cable designed for structured wiring installations in commercial and institutional buildings. Constructed with 22 AWG conductors, this cable meets the electrical and fire-safety requirements for air-handling spaces such as raised-floor plenums and drop ceilings. The plenum jacket rating makes it suitable where building codes prohibit the use of standard PVC-jacketed cables. The blue jacket aids with color-coded cable management in patch panels and data closets. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications and is terminated by licensed low-voltage or data communications technicians.

This cable is intended for horizontal runs in commercial and institutional structured cabling systems. Typical applications include office networks, campus data distribution, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions where plenum spaces are used for air return. The 1,000-foot pull box format is standard for in-wall and above-ceiling runs between telecommunications rooms and work-area outlets. It is appropriate wherever ANSI/TIA-568 CAT6 performance is required in an air-handling space.

Key Features

• Plenum (CMP) rated jacket meets fire and smoke propagation requirements for air-handling spaces
• 22 AWG conductors support CAT6 performance including PoE and PoE+ applications
• Blue jacket supports color-coded cable plant management
• 1,000-foot pull box format sized for commercial horizontal cabling runs
• Meets ANSI/TIA-568 CAT6 channel and permanent link specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution for CAT6 horizontal runs in plenum-rated commercial and institutional data network installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or registered communications distribution designer in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 and applicable local building codes. De-energize all active equipment before terminating at patch panels or keystone jacks. Maintain a bend radius of at least four times the cable diameter and avoid bundling that could cause sustained deformation of the conductors. In plenum spaces, verify that all cable supports and pathways also carry appropriate plenum ratings per NEC Article 800.
