Superior Essex 77-272-5B CAT6 Plenum Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX 77-272-5B is a CAT6 plenum-rated network cable designed for structured wiring installations in commercial and residential buildings. This 4-pair, 23 AWG copper cable meets the requirements for plenum air-handling spaces, where low-smoke and flame-retardant jacket materials are required by building code. It ships in a 1000-foot reel, making it suitable for full-floor or multi-run installations. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers. The plenum jacket rating addresses both fire code and signal performance in concealed air-circulation spaces.

This cable is used in horizontal runs between telecommunications rooms and workstation outlets in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and other commercial environments. It supports CAT6 performance standards for high-speed data and voice applications. The 1000-foot reel format is standard for new construction and large renovation projects where multiple drops are pulled from a single spool. It is suitable for in-wall, in-ceiling, and plenum air-handling pathway installations.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated jacket meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces per NEC Article 800
• 4-pair, 23 AWG construction meets CAT6 performance specifications
• 1000-foot reel format supports large-volume installations with minimal splices
• Green jacket color aids in cable identification and color-coded pathway management

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum-rated CAT6 horizontal cable suitable for use with standard RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular connectors rated for CAT6 termination.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with NEC Article 800 requirements for communications wiring. De-energize any adjacent electrical circuits before pulling cable through shared pathways. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not exceed the cable's pull-tension rating during installation. Plenum cable must be used in all air-handling ceiling and floor spaces as required by the local authority having jurisdiction.
