Superior Essex 6A-272-6A Cat 6A Riser Cmr Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 6A-272-6A is a Category 6A riser-rated (CMR) twisted-pair data cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. Built to 10GBase-T performance standards, it uses 23 AWG conductors arranged in a 4-pair configuration to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission. The yellow jacket identifies the cable type at a glance, and the CMR rating makes it suitable for vertical runs between floors in non-plenum environments. Network installers and low-voltage technicians pull this cable in walls, through conduit, and in cable trays where a plenum-rated jacket is not required by code.

This cable is used in horizontal and backbone cabling runs in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and data centers where 10GBase-T performance is specified. The 1,000-foot reel format is the standard for structured cabling rough-ins and reduces the need for mid-run splices. Low-voltage contractors and registered communications distribution designers (RCDDs) commonly specify CMR-rated Cat 6A for riser pathways where TIA-568 compliance is required.

Key Features

• Cat 6A performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz
• CMR (riser) jacket rating for vertical inter-floor runs in non-plenum spaces
• 23 AWG, 4-pair construction for full TIA-568-C.2-1 Cat 6A compliance
• Yellow jacket for easy cable identification in the field
• 1,000-foot reel format minimizes waste and speeds installation on large pulls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution compatible with standard RJ-45 Category 6A keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs rated for 23 AWG Cat 6A terminations in TIA-568-compliant installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified network cabling contractor in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 standards and applicable local building codes. Do not exceed the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius during pulls, as excessive bending can degrade pair geometry and reduce channel performance. Verify that the pathway is classified as a riser (not plenum) before installing CMR-rated cable; substitute CMP-rated cable where plenum spaces are involved. Terminate both ends using Cat 6A-rated tooling and hardware to maintain the channel rating.
