Superior Essex 6F-272-7A Cat6a Cmr Sctp Riser Cable

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 6F-272-7A is a Cat6a riser-rated shielded twisted pair (SCTP) data cable engineered for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. Built to 23 AWG conductor sizing, it meets the CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) flame rating for vertical-run applications between floors. The polyurethane jacket and overall foil shield support 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance while reducing alien crosstalk in high-density cable runs. Low-voltage cabling contractors and network infrastructure technicians are the primary installers for this cable type.

This cable is suited for horizontal and riser backbone runs in structured cabling systems installed to ANSI/TIA-568 standards. It is appropriate for data centers, office buildouts, and multi-floor commercial installations where a shielded Cat6a solution is specified. The CMR rating qualifies it for use in plenum-adjacent riser pathways where a full plenum (CMP) rating is not required. The 1000 ft pull box packaging is standard for commercial rough-in work.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance supports 10GBase-T applications up to 100 meters
• 23 AWG conductors meet TIA-568 Cat6a channel requirements
• SCTP overall foil shield reduces alien crosstalk in bundled runs
• CMR riser flame rating qualifies cable for vertical building runs
• Polyurethane jacket provides flexibility and durability during installation
• 1000 ft quantity per unit suits commercial rough-in and pull schedules

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style riser cable for Cat6a structured cabling systems requiring a shielded SCTP configuration with CMR flame rating.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling contractor in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 and applicable local building codes. De-energize any adjacent active circuits and follow building fire-stop requirements when penetrating floor assemblies. Shielded cable requires proper grounding of the shield at the termination point to achieve noise-rejection performance. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius during pulls to prevent degradation of cable geometry and insertion loss.
