Wirepath NST-CAT6-1000-PNK Cat 6 Riser Cable Pink

Product Description

The WIREPATH NST-CAT6-1000-PNK is a Category 6 riser-rated (CMR) bulk ethernet cable supplied in a 1000-foot pull box for structured wiring installations. Cat 6 riser cable meets TIA-568-C.2 performance standards and is suited for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings. The pink jacket color simplifies cable identification in multi-run installations where color coding is part of the labeling scheme. Low-voltage installers and structured cabling technicians use this cable for data, VoIP, and network infrastructure projects.

This bulk cable is designed for in-wall and between-floor riser pathways where a plenum rating is not required. Typical applications include home theater wiring, office network drops, security system data runs, and AV distribution backbones. The 1000-foot box format is sized for commercial-scale pulls and reduces the need for mid-run splices. The pink jacket is commonly used in installations that separate cable runs by zone, floor, or circuit type.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-T at shorter distances
• Riser (CMR) fire rating approved for vertical shaft and between-floor runs
• 1000-foot pull box format reduces splice points on long runs
• Pink jacket enables color-coded identification in multi-cable installations
• Suitable for structured wiring, data drops, VoIP, and AV distribution

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat 6 riser bulk cable compatible with 110-style punch-down blocks, keystone jacks, and patch panel terminations that accept 23 AWG or 24 AWG Cat 6 conductors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or structured cabling installer in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 standards and applicable local codes. Do not exceed the cable's minimum bend radius during pulls, and avoid running alongside high-voltage conductors without proper separation as required by NEC Article 800. Terminate both ends with Cat 6 rated keystone jacks or patch panel ports to maintain channel performance. Riser-rated cable must not be substituted for plenum-rated cable in air-handling spaces.
