Superior Essex 6T-272-5A Cat6 Riser Stp Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 6T-272-5A is a Category 6 riser-rated shielded twisted pair (SCTP) network cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. Constructed with 23 AWG conductors arranged in four twisted pairs, this cable carries a CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating, making it suitable for installation in vertical runs between floors without the use of a conduit. The green jacket aids in color-coded cable management. It ships in a 1,000-foot pull box and is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage technicians or electricians working on data network infrastructure.

This cable is used in horizontal and vertical backbone cabling runs for Ethernet networks supporting 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and Gigabit Ethernet applications. The foil shield around the twisted pairs provides added protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, making it well suited for environments with high electrical noise such as commercial office buildings, data closets, and industrial facilities. The riser rating satisfies fire code requirements for plenum-free vertical pathways.

Key Features

• 23 AWG four-pair construction meets Category 6 performance standards
• SCTP foil shielding reduces EMI and alien crosstalk in high-noise environments
• CMR riser rating approved for vertical runs between floors without conduit
• Green jacket supports color-coded structured cabling organization
• 1,000-foot continuous pull for large-scale installations with fewer splices

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style riser cable for use with standard Category 6 shielded keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 connectors in structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with NEC Article 800 requirements for riser-rated communications cable. De-energize adjacent circuits and follow building fire-stopping requirements when penetrating floor assemblies. Use a proper cable pulling grip and observe minimum bend radius to avoid degrading cable performance. Terminate only with Category 6 rated shielded connectors and patch panels to maintain shield continuity and SCTP performance.
