Wirepath NST-CAT6-1000-PUR Cat 6 Riser Cable

Product Description

The WIREPATH NST-CAT6-1000-PUR is a 1000-foot box of Category 6 riser-rated (CMR) unshielded twisted pair cable supplied in a pull-box format. Cat 6 riser cable is designed for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential structured wiring installations where plenum-rated cable is not required. The purple jacket color allows for quick visual identification of cable type or circuit segment during installation and future maintenance. Low-voltage installers and network technicians deploy this cable for Ethernet, VoIP, and data distribution backbone runs.

This cable is suited for structured cabling installations in office buildings, multi-unit residential facilities, hotels, schools, and similar environments where vertical backbone or horizontal distribution runs require a riser-rated conductor. The 1000-foot continuous pull box eliminates mid-run splices, making it a standard choice for new construction and retrofit data infrastructure projects.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance supporting Gigabit Ethernet and beyond
• Riser (CMR) fire rating suitable for vertical inter-floor runs
• 1000-foot continuous pull box minimizes splicing and field waste
• Purple jacket for easy circuit and cable-type identification
• Unshielded twisted pair construction compatible with standard Cat 6 termination hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution compatible with standard Cat 6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs conforming to TIA-568 termination standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified network cabling installer in accordance with local codes and TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize any active patch panels or switches in the work area before terminating cable ends. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid sharp edges or staples that can deform the cable and degrade performance. Riser-rated cable must not be substituted for plenum-rated cable in air-handling spaces.
