Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 cable features solid 23AWG copper conductors arranged in four twisted pairs, providing enhanced signal stability and reduced crosstalk compared to smaller gauge alternatives. The 550MHz bandwidth rating ensures reliable performance for current and emerging network protocols, including 10GBASE-T over shorter distances.
The plenum-rated PVC jacket is specifically formulated to meet UL 910 standards for low smoke and flame spread characteristics. This makes the cable suitable for installation in air handling spaces where building codes require plenum-rated materials for fire safety.
Key Product Advantages
This bulk cable spool offers several advantages for network installers and IT professionals. The combination of plenum rating and solid conductors provides both safety and performance benefits that are essential for professional installations.
Plenum Safety Compliance
The UL 910 plenum-rated jacket allows installation in air handling spaces without conduit, reducing material and labor costs while maintaining fire safety compliance.
- Low smoke emission
- Reduced flame spread
- Suitable for ceilings and walls
Solid Conductor Performance
Solid 23AWG copper conductors provide superior electrical characteristics for permanent installations, with better signal integrity over longer distances compared to stranded alternatives.
- Enhanced signal stability
- Reduced attenuation
- Ideal for structured wiring
Deployment / Use Cases
This CAT6 plenum bulk cable is specifically designed for structured cabling installations where termination points are fixed and cable runs are permanent. The bare wire ends allow for custom termination with RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, or punch-down blocks to match specific installation requirements.
Common deployment scenarios include office buildings, schools, hospitals, and government facilities where network infrastructure must be installed in plenum spaces. The 1000-foot spool length is ideal for medium to large installations, reducing the number of splices and connections needed for long cable runs.
Commercial Office Networks
Install throughout office buildings with cable runs through ceiling plenums, connecting workstations to network closets with reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance.
Educational Institution Wiring
Deploy in schools and universities where plenum-rated cable is required for safety, providing connectivity to classrooms, labs, and administrative offices.

FAQ
What is the difference between plenum and riser rated cable?
Plenum-rated cable like this Axiom CAT6 spool has a special jacket that meets UL 910 standards for low smoke and flame spread, allowing installation in air handling spaces (plenums) without conduit. Riser-rated cable meets UL 1666 standards for vertical runs between floors but produces more smoke and may require conduit in plenum spaces. Always check local building codes for specific requirements.
Can this cable be used for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
Yes, this 23AWG 4-pair solid CAT6 cable is well-suited for Power over Ethernet applications. The 23AWG conductors provide lower resistance than smaller gauge cables, resulting in less voltage drop over distance. This makes it ideal for powering devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras while maintaining data transmission quality.
What type of connectors should I use with this bare wire cable?
This cable comes with bare wire ends, allowing you to terminate it with the connectors that best suit your installation. Common options include RJ45 connectors for patch panels, keystone jacks for wall plates, or punch-down connections for patch panels and network jacks. The solid conductors work well with insulation displacement connectors commonly used in structured wiring installations.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor installation?
No, this is an indoor plenum-rated cable designed for installation within buildings. While the plenum jacket provides fire safety characteristics, it is not rated for UV exposure, moisture resistance, or temperature extremes required for outdoor use. For outdoor installations, you would need specifically rated outdoor or direct burial Ethernet cable with appropriate weatherproofing.
