Superior Essex 77-240-2B CAT6 Plenum Cable 1000 Ft Blue

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 77-240-2B is a CAT6 compliant plenum-rated data cable designed for structured wiring installations in commercial and residential buildings. This cable features a 4-pair, 23 AWG compressed construction that meets plenum (CMP) fire and smoke requirements, making it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces such as above drop ceilings and within raised floor plenums. It ships in a 1000-foot pull box for continuous runs typical of horizontal cabling work. Licensed low-voltage cabling technicians and structured wiring contractors install this product as part of network infrastructure builds or upgrades.

This cable is used in horizontal runs connecting telecommunications rooms to workstation outlets in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and data centers. The plenum rating satisfies fire code requirements for air-handling environments, eliminating the need for conduit in many open-plenum ceiling installations. The 1000-foot box format supports full-floor cable pulls without splicing. Blue jacket color aids in color-coded patch and documentation standards commonly used in commercial low-voltage installations.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-T applications at shorter distances
• CMP plenum-rated jacket meets NFPA 262 flame and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• 23 AWG compressed conductor construction for consistent electrical performance
• 4-pair configuration aligns with T568A and T568B termination standards
• 1000-foot continuous pull box minimizes field splicing on long horizontal runs
• Blue jacket supports color-coded cabling documentation and identification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured wiring solution for CAT6 horizontal cabling systems terminated to standard 8P8C modular jacks, patch panels, and keystone outlets in plenum-rated low-voltage installations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or structured cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 cabling standards and applicable local fire codes. Power down any active network equipment in the path before terminating cable ends. Do not exceed the manufacturer bend radius or pulling tension limits, as deforming the cable geometry will degrade CAT6 performance. Plenum cable must be used in all air-handling spaces as required by NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 800.
