Paige Electric 9P234C65B1 CAT6 CMP Plenum Cable
Overview
The Paige Electric 9P234C65B1 is a 1000-foot spool of Category 6 (CAT6) cable designed for use in plenum spaces. Its CMP (Communications Multipurpose Plenum) rating ensures compliance with fire safety codes for installation within air-handling spaces, making it suitable for commercial security, audio-visual, and data network infrastructure where fire resistance and low smoke emission are critical. This blue cable provides the necessary bandwidth for high-definition video transmission and data networking.
Compatibility
This CAT6 CMP cable is engineered to support data rates up to 10 Gbps over distances up to 55 meters (180 feet) and 1 Gbps up to 100 meters (328 feet). It is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 standards. Use with standard RJ45 connectors and network devices, including IP cameras, network switches, NVRs, and AV equipment that require Category 6 performance. Ensure all connected devices and patch panels meet or exceed CAT6 specifications for optimal performance.
Installation Notes
The cable features a blue, CMP-rated jacket suitable for installation in air-handling (plenum) spaces, meeting NFPA 262 and UL 910 standards. The 23 AWG solid copper conductors provide excellent electrical performance. For terminations, use connectors and tools designed for solid conductor CAT6 cable. Avoid sharp bends exceeding a 4x cable diameter radius to prevent internal conductor damage, which can degrade signal integrity.
