Panduit PUR6C04OR-U Cat 6 Riser Cable

Overview

The Panduit PUR6C04OR-U is a 1000ft bulk copper cable designed for network installations requiring Category 6 performance and Riser (CMR) flammability rating. This cable is suitable for vertical runs between floors in commercial buildings where a higher fire safety standard is mandated. Its 23 AWG solid copper conductors ensure robust signal integrity for data transmission up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over standard distances. The cable is constructed with U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) configuration, featuring 4 pairs of conductors, each insulated with polyolefin and twisted to minimize crosstalk. A central separator band further enhances performance by maintaining pair geometry. The outer jacket is PVC, rated for Riser (CMR) applications, and comes in an orange color for easy identification. This bulk cable is ideal for structured cabling systems where precise lengths are cut on-site.

Compatibility

This Panduit Pan-Net® Category 6 cable is compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and patch panels designed for 23 AWG solid conductor Category 6 cabling. It supports all Category 6 network applications, including 10BASE-T Ethernet, 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet, 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet, and 10GBASE-T Ethernet up to 55 meters (180 feet), as defined by TIA/EIA standards. It integrates with any structured cabling system requiring CMR-rated bulk cable for horizontal or riser pathways.

Installation Notes

The cable is supplied in an easy payout carton, facilitating a smooth installation process. Ensure proper termination techniques are used with compatible Category 6 connectors and patch panels to achieve optimal performance. Avoid excessive pulling tension (exceeding 25 lbs or 110 N) and maintain a minimum bend radius of 4 times the cable diameter (approximately 1 inch or 25mm) during installation to prevent conductor damage. The CMR rating signifies it is suitable for use in riser pathways but not in plenums.
