Wirepath NST-CAT6R-1000-BLU Cat 6 Riser Cable Blue

Product Description

The WIREPATH NST-CAT6R-1000-BLU is a Category 6 riser-rated (CMR) bulk ethernet cable supplied in a 1000-foot pull box. Riser-rated cable meets fire-propagation requirements for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential structured wiring installations. It is designed for high-speed data networks supporting Gigabit Ethernet and is pulled by low-voltage technicians and network installers during rough-in or retrofit work. The blue jacket color aids in cable identification during termination and troubleshooting in patch panels and distribution frames.

This cable is suited for horizontal and vertical backbone runs in office buildings, multi-unit residential construction, schools, and light commercial facilities. It is a staple for structured cabling projects where a plenum rating is not required but vertical fire-stop compliance is. Installers typically pull this cable from the integrated pull box through conduit, cable trays, or open plenum pathways rated for riser use, terminating to keystone jacks or patch panels at each end.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-T at shorter runs
• Riser (CMR) fire rating meets vertical-run building code requirements
• 1000-foot continuous pull box minimizes splice points on long runs
• Blue jacket provides clear circuit identification in multi-cable installations
• Sold as a single 1000-foot box (unit of measure: EA, quantity per unit: 1)

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CMR-rated Cat 6 bulk cable compatible with 110-style punch-down keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 field-termination connectors that meet Category 6 specifications. No specific model compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or network cabling professional in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local building codes. Power down any active network equipment connected to the run before terminating or testing. Do not exceed the cable minimum bend radius or pull tension rating during installation, as doing so can degrade signal performance. Riser-rated cable must be installed only in riser-designated pathways — do not substitute CMR cable in plenum air-handling spaces where CMP-rated cable is required.
