Superior Essex 77-246-DB CAT6 Plenum Cable

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 77-246-DB is a CAT6 plenum-rated network cable designed for structured cabling installations in air-handling spaces and plenum environments. Plenum-rated jackets meet fire and smoke propagation requirements for installation in HVAC air-return spaces and above drop ceilings where airflow is present. This cable supports high-speed data transmission consistent with CAT6 performance standards and is sold individually by the unit. It is typically installed by licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling contractors.

This cable is suited for commercial and residential structured cabling projects where plenum-rated material is required by local fire code. Common installation scenarios include office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and any environment where cable must run through air-handling plenums. The plenum rating makes it the appropriate choice when standard PVC-jacketed cable would not meet code requirements for the installation space.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data applications
• Plenum-rated jacket meets fire and smoke propagation standards for air-handling spaces
• Sold as a single unit (EA), quantity of one per order unit
• Suitable for above-ceiling and in-wall plenum runs where code compliance is required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit option for CAT6 plenum structured cabling systems in commercial and residential network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or structured cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 cabling standards and applicable local fire and building codes. Always verify that the installation environment requires plenum-rated cable before routing; consult local AHJ requirements. De-energize adjacent electrical systems and coordinate with the building owner before pulling cable through plenum spaces. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius for CAT6 cable during installation to maintain performance integrity.
