Superior Essex 77-240-BB Cat6 Plenum Cable

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 77-240-BB is a Cat6 plenum-rated cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and institutional buildings. Plenum-rated cable is constructed with a low-smoke, flame-retardant jacket that meets the requirements for installation in air-handling plenum spaces, where building and fire codes prohibit standard PVC-jacketed cable. This cable is sold as a single unit and is intended for installation by licensed electricians or low-voltage cabling technicians working to current TIA/EIA-568 and NEC standards.

Cat6 plenum cable is commonly used in horizontal runs between telecommunications closets and workstation outlets in offices, schools, hospitals, and other commercial facilities. It supports Gigabit Ethernet and higher-bandwidth applications. The plenum jacket rating makes it the appropriate choice wherever cable is routed through HVAC air-handling spaces, open ceiling plenums, or raised-floor plenums without conduit.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated jacket meets NEC Article 800 CMP rating requirements for air-handling space installations
• Cat6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data applications
• Low-smoke, flame-retardant jacket material for use in plenum and air-handling spaces
• Sold individually as a single unit per order

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution compatible with standard Cat6 termination hardware including keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 connectors rated for Cat6 performance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. Verify that the installation environment requires CMP-rated cable before routing through plenum spaces. Do not exceed the cable bend radius during pulls, and avoid stapling or crimping the jacket in a way that deforms the internal pairs. De-energize any adjacent circuits and follow facility lockout procedures before beginning cable routing in active equipment spaces.
