Superior Essex 66-240-9B Cat6 Plenum Cable 1000 Ft Red

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 66-240-9B is a Cat6 plenum-rated network cable engineered for structured cabling installations that require compliance with plenum air-handling space requirements. Constructed as a 4-pair, 23 AWG configuration, it delivers the bandwidth and signal performance specified by the Cat6 standard. The red jacket aids in visual identification of network segments during installation and troubleshooting. This cable is pulled by licensed low-voltage technicians and data cabling contractors in commercial and institutional buildings where fire and smoke propagation codes mandate plenum-rated materials.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in plenum ceilings, air-handling ducts, and open-ceiling commercial environments. It supports structured cabling infrastructure in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and data centers where plenum pathways are present. Each reel contains 1000 feet of continuous cable, making it appropriate for full-floor horizontal distribution pulls. Installation teams working to TIA-568 and NFPA 90A standards will find this cable meets the fire-code requirements for plenum spaces.

Key Features

• Cat6 performance rating supporting Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBASE-T applications over appropriate distances
• Plenum (CMP) jacket rating meets NFPA 90A requirements for use in air-handling spaces
• 4-pair, 23 AWG construction per TIA-568-C.2 Cat6 specification
• Red jacket color for easy segment identification in multi-cable installations
• 1000-foot reel quantity sized for full horizontal distribution runs

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 8P8C (RJ-45) Cat6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs in TIA-568-compliant structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians should install this cable in accordance with TIA-568 standards and local building codes, including NFPA 90A for plenum pathway compliance. Power down any active equipment connected to the segment before terminating. Avoid exceeding the cable bend radius or pulling tension limits specified by the manufacturer during the pull. All plenum cable installations in commercial buildings typically require inspection and may be subject to local AHJ approval.
