Wirepath NST-CAT6PL-1000-BLU Cat 6 Plenum Cable

Product Description

The WIREPATH NST-CAT6PL-1000-BLU is a Category 6 plenum-rated twisted-pair network cable supplied on a 1000-foot pull box spool in blue. Plenum-rated cable is jacketed with a low-smoke, flame-retardant compound approved for installation inside air-handling spaces such as dropped ceilings and raised floors where building codes require plenum-rated materials. This cable is used for structured wiring of voice, data, and video networks in commercial and residential applications. Low-voltage installers and network technicians are the primary trades who source and run this cable during rough-in or retrofit projects.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in plenum air-handling spaces where standard PVC-jacketed cable is not permitted by code. The 1000-foot pull box format is standard for commercial jobs and multi-room residential installs, allowing a single box to serve multiple drops from a central wiring closet or patch panel. The blue jacket color aids in color-coded cable management by application or zone.

Key Features

• Cat 6 performance rating supporting Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data networks
• Plenum-rated jacket meets requirements for installation in air-handling plenums and environmental air spaces
• 1000-foot pull box spool reduces waste and speeds field installation
• Blue jacket supports color-coded structured cabling infrastructure
• Low-smoke, flame-retardant jacket compound for code-compliant plenum installs

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard Cat 6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 connectors in structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or structured cabling installer in accordance with applicable local and national codes, including NEC Article 800 for communications wiring. Confirm the installation space qualifies as a plenum air-handling environment before pulling plenum-rated cable, as non-plenum spaces may permit lower-cost PVC alternatives. Terminate with Cat 6-rated jacks and patch panels to maintain full channel performance. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius or pull tension specified for Cat 6 cable during the pull.
