Wirepath NST-CAT6-1000-ORG Cat 6 Riser Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH NST-CAT6-1000-ORG is a Category 6 riser-rated (CMR) unshielded twisted-pair cable supplied in a 1000-foot pull box. Designed for structured wiring installations in commercial and residential buildings, this cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data networks up to 550 MHz. The riser rating makes it suitable for vertical runs between floors where plenum-rated cable is not required by code. Low-voltage technicians and data installers use this cable for horizontal and backbone cabling runs in new construction and retrofit projects alike.

This cable is intended for in-wall and in-conduit installation in riser applications — vertical shaft runs, closet-to-closet backbone segments, and structured cabling drops to workstations and access points. The 1000-foot box format is sized for full-floor pulls and reduces the need for mid-run splices. It is commonly installed by low-voltage cabling contractors, network technicians, and licensed electricians working under ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance supporting Gigabit Ethernet and 550 MHz bandwidth
• CMR (riser) jacket rating for vertical between-floor runs where plenum is not required
• 1000-foot pull box for full-floor cabling runs with minimal splices
• Orange jacket color for easy identification and color-coded infrastructure management
• Unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) construction compatible with standard keystone jacks and patch panels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard installation cable for Category 6 structured wiring systems using RJ-45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs that meet ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 termination standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician in accordance with local building codes and ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during pulls, and avoid running parallel to high-voltage conductors without maintaining proper separation per NEC Article 800. Verify that the CMR jacket rating meets the riser classification required by the authority having jurisdiction before installation — substitute plenum-rated cable in air-handling spaces where required by code. Terminate both ends with Category 6 rated hardware to maintain channel performance.
