Superior Essex 66-240-2B Cat6 Plus Plenum Cable

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 66-240-2B is an Enhanced Cat6 Plus plenum-rated network cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and institutional buildings. This cable meets the performance demands of Category 6 Plus specifications, delivering the higher bandwidth and reduced crosstalk required by modern data networks. The plenum jacket rating qualifies it for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit, as required by fire and building codes. Low-smoke, flame-retardant jacket materials keep this cable compliant for ceiling plenum and raised-floor environments where standard PVC jacketed cables are not permitted.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in commercial offices, healthcare facilities, schools, and data centers where plenum-rated infrastructure is required by code. It supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications typical of structured cabling systems. The blue jacket color aids in visual cable management and port identification. Network technicians, low-voltage contractors, and licensed data cabling installers are the primary trades working with this product.

Key Features

• Enhanced Cat6 Plus performance for higher bandwidth and improved crosstalk margins over standard Cat6
• Plenum-rated jacket meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces per NFPA 90A
• Blue jacket supports color-coded cable management in structured cabling environments
• Sold as individual unit (EA) for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard horizontal run cable compatible with Cat6 Plus structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular outlets rated for Category 6 or higher termination.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or qualified network cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 standards and local building codes. De-energize active network equipment at the patch panel or switch before terminating cable runs. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid sharp kinks or cinched cable ties that can degrade signal performance. Plenum spaces must be verified with the authority having jurisdiction before installation to confirm jacket rating acceptance.
