Superior Essex 54-246-9B Cat6e Plenum Cable 4 Pair

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 54-246-9B is a Category 6e plenum-rated, 4-pair data cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. This cable meets the requirements for plenum air-handling spaces, where low-smoke, low-flame-spread jacket materials are required by fire code. The red jacket allows for easy identification in multi-cable runs. It is installed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians and electrical contractors working on data network infrastructure projects.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in office buildings, schools, hospitals, and other facilities where network cabling must pass through plenum ceiling spaces or raised-floor air-return plenums. The Category 6e rating supports high-speed data transmission for structured network installations, making it a practical choice for new construction and retrofit cabling projects that require plenum compliance.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated jacket suitable for air-handling spaces per fire code requirements
• 4-pair construction standard for Cat6e horizontal data cabling
• Red jacket color for easy circuit identification in multi-cable environments
• Category 6e rating supports high-speed structured network applications
• Sold per each unit (EA), quantity of 1 per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum data cable for use in Category 6e structured cabling systems in commercial and residential network infrastructure installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or data cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local fire and building codes. Verify that all plenum-space runs comply with NFPA 90A requirements for plenum-rated cable use. De-energize and isolate any adjacent electrical circuits before working in shared ceiling or floor plenum spaces. Avoid sharp bends or kinking during pull-through to maintain cable geometry and performance rating.
