Superior Essex 66-246-5B Cat6 Plenum Cable Green 1000ft

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 66-246-5B is a Category 6 enhanced plenum-rated data cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. Built to Cat6 Plus performance specifications, this 4-pair, 23 AWG solid copper construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transmission in air-handling plenum spaces where fire and smoke ratings are required by code. It ships in a 1000-foot pull box for efficient field installation. Licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling contractors are the primary installers of this cable.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in plenum-rated ceiling and air-handling spaces, data centers, office environments, and other commercial installations requiring CMP-rated cabling. The green jacket aids in color-coded cable management and circuit identification. It supports IEEE 802.3 Gigabit Ethernet, PoE, and PoE+ applications typical in modern network infrastructure deployments.

Key Features

• Category 6 Plus performance for Gigabit Ethernet and beyond
• CMP plenum rating meets NEC Article 800 requirements for air-handling spaces
• 23 AWG solid copper conductors for full Cat6 channel compliance
• 4-pair construction in a green jacket for easy circuit identification
• 1000-foot pull box packaging for clean, efficient field installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution compatible with standard Cat6 and Cat6A keystone jacks, patch panels, and termination hardware meeting TIA-568-C.2 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or structured cabling contractor in accordance with NEC Article 800 and local building codes. Maintain a minimum bend radius of four times the cable diameter and avoid exceeding the cable's maximum pulling tension during installation. Do not exceed the 4-inch maximum untwist length at termination points to maintain Cat6 performance. In plenum spaces, verify that all pathway hardware also carries the appropriate plenum rating before installation.
