West Penn Wire 4246EZWH1000 Cat6 Riser Cable Cmr

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 4246EZWH1000 is a Cat6 riser-rated (CMR) network cable designed for structured wiring installations in commercial and residential buildings. Finished in white, this cable runs between floors through vertical shafts and plenum-adjacent spaces where a CMR rating is required by code. It supports Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed data applications, making it a standard choice for low-voltage data installers pulling horizontal or vertical runs in new construction and retrofit projects.

This Cat6 CMR cable is suited for in-wall and between-floor data runs in office buildings, schools, multi-family residential, and light commercial environments. It is sold as a 1000-foot spool, providing enough length for large infrastructure pulls. Low-voltage technicians and data cabling contractors typically specify CMR cable wherever the NEC requires a riser fire rating for vertical cable pathways.

Key Features

• CMR (riser) fire rating meets NEC requirements for vertical cable runs between floors
• Cat6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transmission
• White jacket finish for easy identification in structured cabling systems
• 1000-foot spool length suits large commercial and residential wiring projects
• Sold as a single unit (EA) for straightforward ordering

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 CMR riser cable compatible with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and Cat6-rated connectors used in structured cabling systems per TIA-568 guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or data cabling contractor familiar with NEC Article 800 requirements for communications wiring. De-energize any nearby electrical circuits before pulling cable through shared pathways. Use a cable pull lubricant and proper pulling tension limits to avoid stretching the cable pairs and degrading performance. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius specified for Cat6 cable during installation.
