Superior Essex 54-246-7B Cat6 Plenum Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 54-246-7B is a Cat6 plenum-rated structured cabling conductor designed for high-performance data network installations in commercial and institutional buildings. This cable features a 4-pair, 23 AWG configuration under the NextGain C6+ product line, delivering the enhanced headroom and low-crosstalk performance expected from a Category 6 Plus specification. The plenum jacket rating allows installation in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings without requiring conduit in most jurisdictions, making it a code-compliant choice for open-ceiling commercial deployments. Network cabling contractors and low-voltage installers are the primary trades working with this product.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in commercial office environments, healthcare facilities, education campuses, and data centers where plenum-rated cabling is required by local fire and building codes. The 1000-foot pull box format is the standard unit for structured cabling projects, allowing efficient installation across multiple drops from a single box. It supports Gigabit Ethernet and is engineered to meet or exceed TIA-568-C.2 Category 6 performance standards for data transmission applications.

Key Features

• Cat6 Plus (C6+) performance specification for enhanced bandwidth headroom above standard Cat6
• Plenum-rated jacket suitable for air-handling and open-ceiling spaces per applicable fire codes
• 4-pair, 23 AWG construction for full Category 6 channel compliance
• 1000-foot pull box packaging for efficient bulk installation on commercial projects
• Designed to meet TIA-568-C.2 Category 6 transmission performance requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated Cat6 horizontal cable for use with standard 8P8C (RJ45) terminations, patch panels, and keystone jacks that comply with TIA-568-C.2 Category 6 component specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure contractors. Cable must be routed and terminated in accordance with TIA-568 standards and applicable local building and fire codes. Maintain manufacturer-specified minimum bend radius and avoid sharp edges or tight tie wraps that can deform the cable geometry and degrade transmission performance. De-energize any adjacent electrical systems as required by site safety procedures before beginning installation work.
