Panduit PUP6004RD-WLP TX6000 Cat 6 Plenum Copper Cable

Panduit's PUP6004RD-WLP delivers Category 6 performance in a CMP-LP plenum-rated construction built for commercial structured cabling installations where fire safety and performance can't be compromised. This 1000-foot pull box of 23 AWG solid copper U/UTP cable gives you the bandwidth and compliance needed for IP camera networks, access control backbones, and converged infrastructure deployments in spaces with plenum air handling. The red jacket provides instant visual identification in multi-cable environments, and the TX6000 system certification ensures you're installing tested, warrantied infrastructure rather than hoping generic cable will perform when it matters.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance — supports Gigabit Ethernet and PoE/PoE+ camera deployments up to 100 meters
• CMP-LP plenum rating — flame-retardant jacket meets NEC Article 800 for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit
• 23 AWG solid copper conductors — lower DC resistance than CCA or smaller gauge wire, critical for PoE voltage drop budgets
• U/UTP construction with cross divider — maintains pair geometry and reduces crosstalk without the termination complexity of shielded cable
• TX6000 system component — part of Panduit's certified end-to-end infrastructure system with extended warranty coverage
• Red PVC jacket — fast visual identification for security networks, emergency systems, or dedicated VLANs
• 1000 ft. easy-payout carton — sequential footage marking and pull-friendly packaging reduces waste and snags during installation
• FEP/polyolefin insulation — superior dielectric properties for consistent impedance and insertion loss across the full Cat 6 frequency range

The PUP6004RD-WLP is engineered around four twisted pairs of 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors, each individually insulated with FEP/polyolefin dielectric material. A polyethylene cross divider runs the length of the cable, maintaining physical separation between pairs to control capacitive coupling and ensure the cable meets TIA-568.2-D Category 6 requirements for near-end crosstalk (NEXT), return loss, and propagation delay skew. The outer jacket is a flame-retardant PVC compound that meets UL 910 (Steiner Tunnel Test) and NFPA 262 for plenum cable, producing low smoke and minimal toxic gas during combustion—critical for installations in return-air plenums, suspended ceilings, and raised floors where burning cable could compromise entire building HVAC systems.

This cable is the backbone choice for integrators running IP surveillance systems in office towers, hospitals, schools, and retail centers where plenum spaces are unavoidable and PoE power delivery is the norm. The 23 AWG conductor size provides roughly 5.6 ohms per 100 feet of DC loop resistance, which translates to manageable voltage drop even on 90-meter camera runs drawing 15-25 watts—territory where 24 AWG cable starts showing low-voltage warnings or camera reboots. The red jacket makes this cable ideal for segregated security networks: pull red for cameras and access control, blue for data, and you've got instant visual documentation during adds/moves/changes that keeps your VLANs physically obvious. The TX6000 system designation means this cable has been factory-tested with Panduit's Mini-Com jacks, patch panels, and patch cords to deliver certified channel performance; when you register your installation, Panduit extends the warranty to cover the entire copper link, not just individual components. That's real insurance when a failed certification test could mean ripping out cable from finished ceilings.

Panduit manufactures this cable in the U.S. with UL listing, ETL verification, and TIA-568.2-D compliance. The 1000-foot length is optimized for typical office and campus horizontal runs—enough for 10-12 drops without mid-box splicing—and the easy-payout carton design prevents the snagging and kinking that costs you footage and time. When your contract specifies plenum cable and your power budget depends on copper, the PUP6004RD-WLP gives you a tested, traceable, and fire-safe Cat 6 infrastructure that won't be the reason a camera goes dark or a certification fails.
