West Penn Wire 254346ABL1000 Cat6a Plenum Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 254346ABL1000 is a Cat6a plenum-rated network cable supplied in a 1000-foot pull box. Cat6a supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it the correct choice for high-density structured cabling installations where bandwidth headroom matters. The plenum jacket meets the fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces under NFPA 90A, so it can be pulled through HVAC ducts, drop ceilings, and raised floors without a conduit wrap. Network technicians, low-voltage contractors, and licensed electricians install this cable during new construction or retrofit projects.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in commercial office buildings, healthcare facilities, data centers, schools, and multi-family residential projects. The blue jacket aids in color-coded infrastructure management, helping technicians quickly identify network cabling at patch panels and termination points. It is appropriate for any structured cabling project that requires TIA-568 Cat6a performance in a plenum air-handling environment.

Key Features

• Cat6a rating supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at up to 500 MHz
• Plenum-rated jacket meets NFPA 90A requirements for air-handling spaces
• 1000-foot continuous pull box for full horizontal-run projects
• Blue jacket supports color-coded cable plant organization
• Suitable for installation in ceilings, ducts, and raised-floor plenum spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum Cat6a cable for use with standard Cat6a keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 field-termination plugs in TIA-568-compliant structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or electrician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and local building codes. Observe minimum bend radius and maximum pull tension during installation to avoid degrading cable performance. Do not staple or crush the cable jacket, as deformation can cause impedance changes that reduce link performance. Verify plenum-space requirements with the authority having jurisdiction before installation.
