Superior Essex 04-003-68 Cat6 Riser Utp Cable

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 04-003-68 is a Cat6 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) riser-rated network cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. Built with 4-pair, 23 AWG conductors, this cable is engineered to meet Category 6 performance standards, supporting high-speed data transmission for voice, data, and video applications. The riser (CMR) rating qualifies it for vertical runs between floors in non-plenum spaces. Network installers and low-voltage technicians rely on this cable for backbone and horizontal distribution work where consistent signal integrity is required across long runs.

This cable is suited for structured cabling projects in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and multifamily residential construction. It is commonly installed in conduit or cable trays for vertical riser pathways between telecom rooms and intermediate distribution frames. The 5000-foot reel format is practical for large-scale pulls, reducing the number of reels needed on a job site and minimizing splice points in long horizontal or vertical runs.

Key Features

• Cat6 performance rating supporting Gigabit Ethernet and beyond
• 4-pair, 23 AWG unshielded twisted-pair construction
• CMR riser rating for vertical floor-to-floor installations in non-plenum spaces
• 5000-foot reel minimizes splices on large commercial pulls
• UTP design simplifies termination at patch panels and keystone jacks

Compatibility

Designed as a CMR-rated Cat6 UTP cable for use with standard RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs that meet TIA-568 Category 6 termination requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or network cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 and applicable local building codes. De-energize any adjacent electrical circuits in shared pathways before beginning the pull. Maintain the manufacturer-recommended bend radius and avoid kinking or crushing the cable during installation. Do not install this riser-rated cable in plenum air-handling spaces; a CMP-rated plenum cable is required for those applications.
