Wirepath SP-CAT6A-1000-GRY Cat 6A Plenum Cable Spool

Product Description

The WIREPATH SP-CAT6A-1000-GRY is a Cat 6A plenum-rated bulk cable supplied on a 1000-foot spool in gray jacket. Cat 6A supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it the standard choice for high-performance structured wiring installations. The plenum rating means the cable jacket meets smoke and flame requirements for air-handling spaces, so it can be routed through ceiling plenums and HVAC return-air pathways without a conduit in most jurisdictions. Network installers and low-voltage contractors pull this type of cable during new construction and retrofit projects alike.

This cable is suited for commercial and residential structured cabling installations where 10GbE backbone or horizontal runs are required. Typical applications include office networks, data centers, healthcare facilities, and education campuses where plenum-rated cable is mandated by local fire codes. The gray jacket color aids identification in multi-cable runs. A 1000-foot spool is the standard unit for pull-through installations, minimizing mid-run splices on long horizontal or vertical runs.

Key Features

• Cat 6A rating supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at up to 500 MHz bandwidth
• Plenum-rated jacket meets CMP smoke and flame requirements for air-handling spaces
• 1000-foot spool minimizes splices on long structured wiring runs
• Gray jacket provides easy visual identification in multi-cable environments
• Suitable for horizontal and backbone runs in commercial and residential installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style bulk cable solution compatible with standard Cat 6A keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular connectors that terminate to TIA-568 wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or structured cabling contractor in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 standards and applicable local fire codes. Do not exceed the cable bend radius or pulling tension limits specified for Cat 6A cable, as deformation can degrade signal performance. Verify plenum routing paths are approved as air-handling spaces under the adopted building and fire code before pulling. Terminate both ends with Cat 6A-rated connectors and test each run with a certifying cable tester after installation.
