Superior Essex 6A-272-DB Cat6a Plenum Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 6A-272-DB is a Cat6a plenum-rated data cable built for high-performance structured cabling installations. Constructed with 23 AWG conductors in a 4-pair configuration, this cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) transmission at frequencies up to 500 MHz. The plenum jacket rating makes it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces where fire and smoke performance is required by code. Network installers and low-voltage contractors deploy this cable in horizontal runs for enterprise, commercial, and institutional cabling projects. The 1000-foot pull box format is standard for bulk installation work.

This cable is intended for structured cabling deployments requiring Cat6a performance in plenum-rated environments. Typical applications include horizontal cable runs from telecommunications rooms to work area outlets in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and data centers. The 10GbE capability supports bandwidth-intensive applications and future-proofs the cabling infrastructure for high-density network environments.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance supporting 10-Gigabit Ethernet at up to 500 MHz
• 23 AWG 4-pair construction meeting TIA-568-C.2 Cat6a channel requirements
• Plenum-rated jacket for installation in air-handling plenums and ducts per NFPA 90A
• 1000-foot bulk spool format sized for full horizontal run installations
• Blue jacket color for easy identification and cable management

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution compatible with standard Cat6a keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs that conform to TIA-568-C.2 termination specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or structured cabling contractor in compliance with ANSI/TIA-568 standards and applicable local codes. Plenum-rated cable must be used in air-handling spaces as required by NFPA 90A and local building codes — do not substitute a non-plenum cable in plenum environments. Maintain minimum bend radius during pulls to avoid damaging the cable geometry and degrading insertion loss performance. De-energize any adjacent electrical infrastructure and follow proper cable management practices when routing through conduit or cable trays.
