West Penn Wire 254246EZOR1000 Cat6 Plenum Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 254246EZOR1000 is a Category 6 plenum-rated (CMP) network cable designed for structured wiring installations in commercial and residential buildings. Plenum-rated construction meets the fire and smoke requirements for use in air-handling spaces above drop ceilings and below raised floors, where building codes mandate CMP-rated cabling. This cable is finished in orange for easy identification in high-density cable runs. Network technicians and low-voltage contractors install this cable as horizontal runs in data cabling infrastructure.

This cable is suited for Ethernet and data network installations requiring Cat6 performance in plenum air-handling spaces. The orange jacket aids in circuit identification during installation and future troubleshooting. It is a common choice for office buildings, schools, hospitals, and other commercial environments where plenum pathways are the standard routing option for horizontal cable distribution.

Key Features

• CMP plenum rating meets building code requirements for air-handling space installations
• Category 6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications
• Orange jacket provides visual circuit identification in multi-cable environments
• Sold per reel for full horizontal run installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 plenum cable compatible with Category 6 patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 termination hardware used in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or structured cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 standards and applicable local building codes. Always de-energize connected equipment before terminating cable ends. Avoid exceeding the cable's minimum bend radius and maximum pull tension during installation to prevent damage to the internal pairs. Plenum pathways must be properly identified and approved before cable routing begins.
