Superior Essex 54-246-7A Cat6 Riser Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 54-246-7A is a Category 6 riser-rated (CMR) twisted-pair copper data cable engineered for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. Built with 4 pairs of 23 AWG solid copper conductors, this cable is designed to meet Cat6 performance requirements including reduced crosstalk and improved signal integrity at gigabit speeds. The 1000-foot pull box format is the standard for professional low-voltage cabling contractors pulling cable through conduit, cable trays, or open plenum-free vertical runs between floors.

This cable is suited for horizontal and backbone runs in data networks where riser-rated jacket material is required by code. Typical applications include office LANs, school and healthcare networks, and multi-floor commercial installations. The riser rating classifies this cable for use in vertical shaft spaces and between floors where flame spread must be controlled, but a plenum-rated cable is not required by the local authority having jurisdiction.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance supporting Gigabit Ethernet and up to 250 MHz bandwidth
• 4-pair 23 AWG solid copper conductor construction
• Riser (CMR) rated jacket for vertical and inter-floor cable runs
• 1000-foot pull box format for efficient installation pulls
• Designed to reduce near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and alien crosstalk common in dense cable environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution compatible with standard Cat6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 field-termination connectors meeting TIA-568-C.2 specifications.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and structured cabling contractors are the typical trade for this product. Power down any active network equipment before terminating cable runs. Follow local building codes and NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 800 requirements for communications wiring, and confirm with the authority having jurisdiction that riser-rated cable is acceptable for the intended pathway. Avoid sharp bends below the cable minimum bend radius and do not exceed the manufacturer pull-tension rating during installation.
