Superior Essex 6B-272-2B Cat 6a Plenum Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 6B-272-2B is a Category 6A plenum-rated (CMP) network cable designed for structured cabling installations that require 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance. Built with 23 AWG conductors in a 4-pair configuration, this cable meets the demands of high-density data centers, enterprise networks, and commercial building infrastructure. The plenum jacket rating makes it compliant for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit, a common requirement in commercial construction. Licensed network installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary trades working with this cable.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in commercial and enterprise environments where 10GBase-T performance is required. The 1,000-foot pull box quantity supports full-floor installations and reduces the need for mid-run splices. The blue jacket aids in cable identification and color-coded patch management. It is appropriate for use in plenum ceiling spaces, raised-floor environments, and air-return pathways where CMP-rated cable is required by code.

Key Features

• Category 6A rating supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T) applications
• CMP plenum jacket rated for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit
• 23 AWG, 4-pair construction for full TIA-568 Cat 6A compliance
• Blue jacket for easy cable plant identification and color coding
• 1,000-foot quantity packaged for efficient large-scale horizontal runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution compatible with standard Cat 6A keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ-45 terminations that conform to TIA-568 wiring specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or structured cabling installer in accordance with TIA-568 and local building codes. De-energize any adjacent electrical systems before pulling cable through shared pathways. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid exceeding the cable pull-tension rating to prevent pair damage and performance degradation. Plenum spaces must be confirmed as code-compliant air-handling areas before substituting CMP cable for conduit-run alternatives.
