Wirepath NST-CAT6R-1000-WHT Cat 6 Riser Cable 1000ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH NST-CAT6R-1000-WHT is a Category 6 riser-rated (CMR) bulk ethernet cable supplied in a 1000-foot pull box in white jacket. CMR-rated cable meets UL 444 and NFPA 262 requirements for installation in vertical riser runs between floors, making it suitable for commercial and residential structured wiring projects. The cable is designed for high-speed data and voice network distribution at up to 250 MHz. Low-voltage installers and licensed data/communications contractors pull this cable through conduit or open plenum-adjacent pathways where a riser rating satisfies code.

This cable is used in structured cabling installations in commercial offices, multi-family residential buildings, hospitality, and light-industrial environments. It is appropriate for horizontal runs, home-run topologies, and vertical riser shafts where a CMR-rated jacket meets the required fire-spread rating. The 1000-foot in-box format feeds easily from a pull box during installation, reducing kinking and tangling on the job.

Key Features

• CMR (riser) fire rating meets code requirements for vertical shaft and wall cavity installations
• Category 6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBASE-T at shorter distances
• 1000-foot in-box format for clean, tangle-free pulls on large jobs
• White jacket color for easy identification and label readability in structured wiring panels
• Bulk spool format eliminates pre-terminated length constraints for custom run lengths

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CMR-rated Category 6 bulk cable for use with keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 field-termination connectors that accept 23 AWG or 24 AWG conductors per standard Cat 6 wiring practices.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or communications technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local codes. De-energize any adjacent electrical circuits before fishing cable through walls or riser shafts. Maintain minimum bend radius to avoid degrading signal performance, and keep cable separated from high-voltage conductors to minimize interference. Terminate both ends only after the full run is pulled to prevent damage to the connectors during the pull.
