Thinkstar

Thinkstar Cat6 Plenum 1000ft Blue 23AWG 550MHz network ethernet cable

SKU CH-N40V-J4DZS

Plenum-rated Cat6 bulk cable with solid bare copper conductors, 550 MHz bandwidth, and PoE++ support up to 90 W for indoor air-handling spaces

  • Plenum rated for safe installation in air-handling spaces
  • 550 MHz bandwidth supports 10 Gigabit up to 165 feet
  • Solid bare copper conductors deliver stronger signal than CCA
  • Easy-pull tangle-free box simplifies 1000 foot deployment
  • PoE++ 4PPoE up to 90 watts powers devices over cable

Plenum-Rated Cat6 Cable

This Thinkstar Cat6 cable is built for indoor plenum spaces such as air-handling ceilings and raised floors. It uses 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors in an unshielded twisted-pair design with a blue CMP jacket. The bulk reel supplies 1000 feet (305 meters) in a tangle-free pull box for straightforward installation.

Speed and Distance Coverage

The cable is tested to 550 MHz bandwidth and certified to ANSI/TIA 568.2-D. It supports 1 and 5 Gigabit speeds up to 328 feet and 10 Gigabit up to 165 feet, depending on the installation environment. PoE++ (4PPoE) delivers up to 90 W under IEEE 802.3bt for powered devices.

Installers Needing Plenum Fire Rating

The plenum jacket provides high flame resistance and low-toxicity smoke for code-compliant runs in air-handling spaces. It is not suited for outdoor burial, direct sunlight or installations requiring shielded cable for high-EMI environments. Buyers needing armoured or outdoor-rated cable should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What size conduit or pathway is needed for the 23AWG 4-pair plenum cable?

The 23AWG solid bare copper conductors with a CMP-rated jacket fit standard low-voltage conduit; allow fill capacity for 1000ft of 4-pair UTP.

How is the cable terminated, and what step causes certification failures?

Terminate with compatible RJ45 plugs or keystone jacks using a punch-down tool; the common error is untwisting pairs beyond the ANSI/TIA 568.2-D limit, which fails Fluke DSX-8000 certification.

When should the cable be inspected or replaced after installation?

Inspect after any fire event or physical damage; the plenum jacket resists flame and low-toxicity smoke, but compromised sections must be replaced to maintain 550MHz and PoE++ 90W performance.
