Superior Essex 66-272-3B Cat6 Plenum Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 66-272-3B is a Category 6 Plus plenum-rated data cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and institutional buildings. This cable ships on a 1000-foot reel and features a 4-pair, 23 AWG unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction in a gray jacket. The plenum rating means the jacket compound meets CMP smoke and flame standards required for air-handling spaces above drop ceilings and below raised floors. Network installers and low-voltage contractors specify this cable where building codes mandate plenum-rated pathways.

This cable suits horizontal runs in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and other commercial environments where NFPA 90A air-plenum compliance is required. The Datagain C6 Plus designation indicates enhanced performance headroom above the TIA-568 Category 6 minimum, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-T applications at shorter distances. It is appropriate for structured cabling systems terminated with standard Category 6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs.

Key Features

• CMP plenum-rated jacket meets NFPA 90A requirements for air-handling space installations
• 4-pair 23 AWG UTP construction per TIA-568 Category 6 Plus performance specifications
• Gray jacket for identification in structured cabling color-coding schemes
• 1000-foot reel format sized for full horizontal floor runs
• Compatible with standard Cat6 termination hardware including keystone jacks and patch panels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum data cable suitable for structured cabling installations terminated with Category 6 rated jacks, patch panels, and modular connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or communications cabling contractor in accordance with TIA-568 and local building codes. De-energize any active equipment in the pathway before pulling cable. Do not exceed the cable minimum bend radius or maximum pulling tension specified by the manufacturer during installation. Plenum spaces require CMP-rated cable by code and substitution with riser or CMR cable in those spaces is not permitted.
