Superior Essex 6A-272-7B Cat6a Plenum Cable 1000 Ft Blue

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 6A-272-7B is a Cat6a plenum-rated twisted-pair data cable designed for high-speed structured cabling installations. Built to 10GBase-T performance standards, this cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission and meets the bandwidth demands of modern enterprise and commercial network infrastructure. The 23 AWG, 4-pair construction delivers the signal integrity required for data centers, office buildings, and institutional facilities. The plenum (CMP) rating makes it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces and plenum plenums where fire and smoke codes restrict the use of standard PVC-jacketed cable. Network installers and low-voltage contractors are the primary trades working with this product.

This cable is used in horizontal and backbone structured cabling runs for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. The blue jacket aids in color-coded cable management across patch panels and structured wiring systems. With 1000 feet per reel, it is sized for full-floor or multi-drop network runs in commercial and institutional buildings. It is appropriate for new construction and renovation projects where plenum-rated cabling is required by local fire or building codes. The pull-ready reel format supports efficient cable pulls through conduit or open plenum spaces.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz
• Plenum (CMP) jacket rating meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• 23 AWG, 4-pair construction meets TIA-568-C.2 and ISO 11801 Cat6a standards
• Blue jacket supports color-coded cable plant management
• 1000-foot reel quantity suitable for full commercial floor installations
• 10Gain construction optimized for reduced alien crosstalk (AXT) in high-density runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution compatible with standard Cat6a keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs that terminate 23 AWG 4-pair unshielded twisted-pair cable per TIA-568-C.2 specifications.

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 applicable local fire and building codes. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid exceeding the maximum pulling tension specified for Cat6a cable to prevent degradation of transmission performance. All terminations should be made with Cat6a-rated tooling and hardware to preserve channel performance ratings. Verify that plenum-rated cable is required by the authority having jurisdiction before substituting standard-rated cable in any air-handling space.
