Wirepath NST-CAT6-1000-BLU Cat 6 Riser Cable Blue

Product Description

The WIREPATH NST-CAT6-1000-BLU is a Cat 6 unshielded twisted pair riser-rated cable supplied in a 1000-foot pull box. Riser-rated (CMR) cable is designed for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings, meeting fire code requirements for in-wall and between-floor pathways. This cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth structured wiring applications. Low-voltage installation technicians and data cabling contractors use this cable for permanent horizontal and backbone runs in structured wiring projects.

This Cat 6 riser cable is suited for installation in commercial office buildings, multi-unit residential structures, and custom home automation systems where vertical cable runs must meet riser fire ratings. The pull box format allows for clean, controlled payouts during installation in cable trays, conduit, or open plenum-adjacent pathways. It is commonly pulled to data drops, patch panels, security camera locations, and access control equipment.

Key Features

• Cat 6 performance supporting Gigabit Ethernet and 550 MHz bandwidth applications
• Riser (CMR) fire rating suitable for vertical runs between building floors
• 1000-foot pull box allows controlled payout with minimal tangling
• Blue jacket color for easy identification and color-coded infrastructure labeling
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction for standard structured wiring environments

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard Cat 6 structured wiring installations terminating to Cat 6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 connectors in residential and commercial low-voltage systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or data cabling contractor in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local building codes. Do not exceed the maximum pulling tension or minimum bend radius specified for Cat 6 UTP cable, as deforming the cable pairs will degrade signal performance. Ensure all terminations are made with Cat 6 rated keystone jacks or patch panel ports. Riser-rated cable must not be substituted for plenum-rated (CMP) cable in air-handling spaces.
