Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 cable meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for performance and construction. The 23 AWG solid copper conductors provide lower attenuation and better signal integrity over long distances compared to thinner gauges, making it suitable for backbone and horizontal cabling runs up to 100 meters.
The plenum-rated (CMP) jacket is manufactured from low-smoke, flame-retardant materials that meet NFPA 262 and UL 910 standards for use in air-handling spaces without conduit. This makes the cable ideal for installation in plenums, ducts, and other environmental air spaces where fire codes restrict cable types.
Key Product Advantages
This bulk cable spool delivers several advantages for network professionals and installers. The combination of performance specifications, safety ratings, and installation flexibility creates a versatile cabling solution for demanding environments.
Performance Reliability
The 23 AWG solid copper construction and 550MHz bandwidth ensure stable Gigabit Ethernet performance with minimal signal loss, supporting 10/100/1000BASE-T networks and emerging applications.
- Supports PoE and PoE+ applications
- Reduced crosstalk for clean signal transmission
- Backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5
Installation Flexibility
Bare wire ends allow custom termination to exact length requirements, eliminating waste and enabling precise cable management in racks, conduits, and cable trays.
- Customizable lengths for any network layout
- Compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and tools
- Yellow jacket provides easy visual identification
Deployment / Use Cases
This CAT6 plenum cable is engineered for structured cabling installations where performance, safety, and customization are essential. The 1000-foot spool format is particularly cost-effective for larger projects requiring multiple cable runs of varying lengths.
Typical deployment scenarios include new construction or retrofit installations in office buildings, schools, hospitals, and government facilities where cables may run through plenum spaces. The cable is also well-suited for data center edge distribution, IDF-to-workstation connections, and backbone links between network closets.
Commercial Building Infrastructure
Install in ceiling plenums and raised floors to connect workstations, wireless access points, security cameras, and VoIP phones throughout office environments.
Institutional Network Backbones
Use for horizontal cabling in educational and healthcare facilities where fire codes mandate plenum-rated materials and reliable network performance is critical.

FAQ
What is the difference between plenum and riser rated cable?
Plenum-rated cable (CMP) has fire-retardant, low-smoke jacket materials approved for use in air-handling spaces like ceiling plenums without conduit. Riser-rated cable (CMR) is for vertical runs between floors but typically requires conduit in plenum spaces. This Axiom cable is plenum-rated, making it suitable for both applications with fewer installation restrictions.
Can this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, the 23 AWG solid copper conductors provide sufficient current-carrying capacity for PoE and PoE+ applications up to 30W per port. The cable can reliably power devices like wireless access points, security cameras, VoIP phones, and LED lighting while transmitting data over the same connection.
What tools are needed to terminate the bare wire ends?
You will need standard RJ45 connectors (for patch cables) or keystone jacks/punch-down blocks (for wall plates and patch panels), along with a cable stripper, crimping tool, and cable tester. The solid copper conductors make termination straightforward with common network installation tools available from most electrical suppliers.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or direct burial installations?
No, this is an indoor plenum-rated cable not designed for outdoor use or direct burial. For outdoor applications, you would need cable with UV-resistant and waterproof jacketing specifically rated for exterior environments. This cable is intended for protected indoor spaces, particularly plenums and other air-handling areas.
