Superior Essex 6S-220-7B Cat6a Plenum Cable 4-pair 23AWG

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 6S-220-7B is a Category 6A plenum-rated network cable designed for high-performance structured cabling installations. Built with 4-pair, 23 AWG construction, this cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and is rated for use in air-handling spaces where plenum-rated materials are required by code. The shielded, shielded twisted-pair (STP) design provides superior crosstalk rejection and EMI resistance, making it well-suited for dense cable runs in commercial environments. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers of this product.

This cable is used in commercial and enterprise horizontal cabling runs, typically installed above drop ceilings or in open plenum air-handling spaces. It is appropriate for structured wiring projects requiring TIA-568 Cat6A performance compliance. The plenum jacket compound meets the smoke and flame requirements for installation in air-handling return spaces, making it the required choice over riser or CMR-rated cable wherever the NEC demands CMP-rated cable.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance rating supporting 10GBase-T applications up to 100 meters
• CMP plenum jacket rating meets NEC requirements for air-handling space installation
• 4-pair, 23 AWG shielded twisted-pair construction reduces crosstalk and EMI interference
• Shielded design provides added noise immunity in high-interference environments
• Sold per individual unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution compatible with standard Cat6A keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 field-termination connectors meeting TIA-568-C.2 Category 6A specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or electrical contractor in accordance with NEC Article 800 and local cabling codes. De-energize any adjacent powered infrastructure before fishing cable through walls or ceilings. Maintain minimum bend radius requirements and avoid sharp edges or crimps that can degrade cable performance. Do not exceed the cable's maximum pulling tension during installation.
