C2G Canada C2G56052 1000 ft CAT6A UTP CMP network ethernet cable

1000 ft Cat6a plenum cable

The C2G C2G56052 is a 1000 ft (304.8 m) bulk Cat6a unshielded twisted-pair cable with a CMP plenum jacket. It suits installers running horizontal runs through air-handling spaces in commercial buildings. The black jacket aids visual identification in dense cable trays. Solid conductors support termination on patch panels and keystone jacks.

Step up from Cat6 or riser-rated runs

This cable replaces Cat6 or CMR-rated links when 10 Gbps bandwidth over 100 m is required or when fire code mandates plenum-rated insulation. The jump is worth it for new construction or major renovations where the pathway passes through return-air plenums. It is not for installers who only need in-wall CM rating or who require shielded F/UTP for high-EMI environments.

Consistent throughput on long pulls

The solid-conductor design maintains insertion-loss margins across the full 100 m channel during sustained 10 Gbps traffic. Plenum materials resist temperature cycling in ceiling voids without jacket degradation. Unshielded construction keeps pull tension low on long conduit runs, reducing conductor stretch that can shift pair geometry over time.
