Wirepath NST-CAT6-1000-RED Cat 6 Riser Cable Red

Product Description

The WIREPATH NST-CAT6-1000-RED is a Cat 6 riser-rated bulk network cable designed for structured wiring installations in commercial and residential buildings. Cat 6 cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data transmission across horizontal and vertical cable runs. This 1000-foot box is intended for in-wall and between-floor pulls where a CMR (riser) flame rating is required by code. Low-voltage installers, systems integrators, and network technicians work with this type of cable during rough-in and finish phases of structured cabling projects.

This cable is suited for in-building data network infrastructure, including office buildouts, multi-dwelling units, and whole-home structured wiring systems. The riser rating allows vertical runs between floors without requiring plenum-rated cable. The red jacket color is commonly used to differentiate cable runs by function or zone, supporting organized infrastructure management in larger installations.

Key Features

• Cat 6 performance supporting Gigabit Ethernet and 10/100/1000BASE-T applications
• CMR riser-rated jacket suitable for vertical between-floor cable runs
• Red jacket for easy visual identification and cable run differentiation
• 1000-foot pull box format reduces handling time on large jobs
• Sold as a single box (quantity: 1)

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat 6 bulk cable for use with Cat 6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ-45 field-termination connectors in riser-rated structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or structured cabling contractor in accordance with TIA-568 standards and local building codes. Confirm that riser-rated cable is permitted for the intended pathway; plenum-rated cable is required in air-handling spaces. Avoid sharp bends, staple-through fastening, or exceeding the cable's minimum bend radius during the pull. Terminate to Cat 6-rated jacks and patch panels to maintain full Category 6 channel performance.
