Wirepath NST-CAT6PL-1000-BLK CAT6A Plenum Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH NST-CAT6PL-1000-BLK is a CAT6A plenum-rated ethernet cable supplied in a 1000-foot pull box, finished in black. Plenum-rated cable is manufactured with a low-smoke, flame-retardant jacket that meets the fire and air-handling requirements for installation inside plenum spaces, air ducts, and suspended ceiling cavities used as return-air pathways. CAT6A construction supports 10-Gigabit ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it suitable for high-bandwidth structured cabling runs in commercial and enterprise environments. This cable is installed by licensed low-voltage technicians and data communications contractors.

This cable is appropriate for structured wiring installations in commercial office buildings, healthcare facilities, schools, and hospitality environments where plenum-rated pathways are required by code. The 1000-foot continuous pull length minimizes splices across long horizontal runs and backbone segments. It is suitable for use in Category 6A horizontal cabling systems terminating to patch panels, jacks, and switches in compliance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated jacket meets CMP fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• CAT6A performance supports 10GBase-T at frequencies up to 500 MHz
• 1000-foot continuous length reduces mid-run splices on long horizontal runs
• Black jacket allows visual differentiation in multi-cable pathway installations
• Pull-box format supports clean, controlled cable deployment during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated CAT6A horizontal cable compatible with standard RJ45 modular termination systems, Category 6A patch panels, and 110-style punch-down jacks per ANSI/TIA-568 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 and applicable local building codes. Plenum-rated cable is required by the NEC in any air-handling space and must not be substituted with riser or CMR-rated cable in those pathways. Verify that pull tension does not exceed the cable manufacturer limits during installation to avoid pair distortion. Test each run with a CAT6A-rated cable certifier after termination to confirm insertion loss and crosstalk compliance.
