West Penn Wire 4346ABL1000 Cat6a Plenum Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 4346ABL1000 is a Cat6a plenum-rated network cable supplied in a 1,000-foot quantity. Cat6a cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz and is engineered for structured cabling installations in commercial and institutional buildings. The plenum rating makes this cable suitable for air-handling spaces where building codes require low-smoke, flame-retardant materials. Network cabling contractors and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers for this product.

This cable is used in horizontal runs within plenum ceilings and air-return spaces in commercial office buildings, schools, hospitals, and data centers. The 1,000-foot reel length is standard for pull-through structured cabling projects. The blue jacket provides easy identification within cable trays and patch panels during installation and future maintenance. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit cabling projects where plenum compliance is required by the authority having jurisdiction.

Key Features

• Cat6a rating supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth
• Plenum-rated jacket meets low-smoke, flame-retardant requirements for air-handling spaces
• 1,000-foot pull length suits full horizontal-run structured cabling projects
• Blue jacket color aids identification in trays, bundles, and patch fields
• CMP plenum classification aligns with NEC Article 800 requirements for plenum environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6a plenum cable for use with Cat6a keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs in structured cabling systems compliant with TIA-568 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or network cabling contractor in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. De-energize any adjacent circuits and follow proper cable-pulling tension limits to avoid damaging the cable during routing. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer when routing through conduit or cable trays. Terminate both ends using Cat6a-rated termination tools and hardware to maintain full channel performance.
