West Penn Wire 4236FBK1000 Cat6 Shielded Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 4236FBK1000 is a shielded Category 6 data cable designed for structured wiring installations in commercial and residential settings. This cable features four twisted pairs of 23 AWG solid copper conductors wrapped in a PVC jacket, providing reliable high-speed data transmission with shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. The 1000-foot reel format is sized for full-floor or building backbone runs. Low-voltage electricians and data cabling contractors are the primary installers for this product.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in commercial office environments, data centers, and industrial facilities where shielded cabling is specified. The shielded construction supports deployments near fluorescent lighting, motor equipment, or other EMI sources where unshielded cable may underperform. It meets Cat6 performance standards, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet at shorter distances per TIA-568 specifications.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 23 AWG solid copper conductors for structured cabling compliance
• Overall shielding reduces EMI and crosstalk in high-interference environments
• PVC outer jacket for standard indoor plenum-free installations
• Four twisted pairs in a single cable for standard 8P8C termination
• 1000-foot reel provides sufficient length for large floor pulls without splicing

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard Cat6 shielded keystone jacks, patch panels, and 8P8C shielded connectors that comply with TIA-568-C.2 termination requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or qualified data cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 and applicable local codes. Maintain the minimum bend radius specified for Cat6 cable during pulls to avoid degrading pair geometry and signal performance. Shielded cable requires proper bonding of the shield to ground at termination points to be effective against EMI. Do not exceed the cable's maximum pulling tension during installation.
