West Penn Wire 254246EZPK1000 Cat6 Plenum Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 254246EZPK1000 is a Cat6 plenum-rated network cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. Plenum-rated jacket construction meets fire safety requirements for installation in air-handling spaces, including suspended ceilings and raised floors used as return-air plenums. This cable supports high-speed data transmission at Gigabit Ethernet speeds and is suited for horizontal runs in voice, data, and network distribution systems. Licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling contractors are the typical installers for this product.

This Cat6 plenum cable is used in horizontal cabling runs within commercial office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and multi-unit residential structures. It is appropriate wherever local building codes or fire authorities require plenum-rated cabling in air-handling ceiling or floor spaces. The 1000-foot pull pack format is sized for full-floor or multi-room distribution runs, reducing the need for mid-run splices or additional pulls.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated jacket meets CMP fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• Cat6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet at shorter distances
• 1000-foot pull pack format reduces waste and simplifies large horizontal runs
• Suitable for voice, data, and network infrastructure applications
• Designed for use in commercial and residential structured cabling systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution compatible with standard Cat6 termination hardware including keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs that conform to TIA-568 wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or structured cabling technician familiar with TIA-568 and local fire codes. De-energize any active circuits in the pathway before pulling cable through conduit or J-hooks. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, and do not staple or crush the jacket during routing. Plenum-rated cable must be used in all air-handling spaces per NEC Article 800 and applicable local amendments.
