Plenum CMP fire-rated bulk cable

This 1000 ft Cat 6 plenum cable meets CMP fire-safety requirements for installation in air-handling spaces above suspended ceilings or below raised floors. It uses 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors and a spline that separates the four twisted pairs to reduce crosstalk. The jacket is sunlight-resistant and weather-proof for durable pathway runs.

Sustained 550 MHz bandwidth and PoE+ support

Each reel is individually tested with a Fluke DTX-1800 Versiv analyzer to verify compliance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-C.2 and ISO 9001:2015 standards across the full length. The construction delivers stable 550 MHz bandwidth for 10 gigabit ethernet and supports Power over Ethernet plus up to 60 W without performance drop-off during continuous load.

23 AWG solid bare copper decides suitability

The 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors determine whether this reel fits the project: they provide the conductivity and mechanical stiffness required for permanent plenum installations and PoE+ power budgets. Buyers who need stranded conductors for patch cords or a non-plenum rating for riser spaces cannot use this cable.

Questions about this item

Does the 23 AWG solid bare copper construction generate noticeable heat when carrying PoE+ at 60 W over long runs?

The 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors keep resistance low, so temperature rise stays minimal even at the full 60 W PoE+ rating across the 1000 ft length.

What termination hardware is required to use this raw 1000 ft reel with RJ45 connectors on both ends?

You will need RJ45 plugs rated for solid 23 AWG wire, a compatible crimp tool and a cable tester to verify each link after termination.

Will this CMP-rated 550 MHz Cat 6 cable work reliably with older 100 Mbps switches and Cat 5e patch panels already in the rack?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible; it meets ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-C.2 so it will negotiate down to 100 Mbps on legacy gear without any configuration changes.
