C2G 15276 Cat6 Plenum Patch Cord – 100 ft

Overview

The C2G 15276 is a 100-foot, non-booted Cat6 patch cord designed for plenum spaces. Its CMP (Communications Multipurpose Plenum) rating ensures it meets fire safety codes for installation within air-handling spaces, making it suitable for commercial network infrastructure deployments where cable must run through plenums. The gray jacket provides clear identification for this specific cable type. This cord is TAA compliant, meeting requirements for government and certain commercial procurements.

Compatibility

This Cat6 patch cord is compatible with all standard networking equipment requiring RJ45 connectors, including switches, routers, servers, and network interface cards. It supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps and frequencies up to 550 MHz, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. It is designed for use with network devices that have standard RJ45 ports.

Installation Notes

This is a non-booted cable, meaning it lacks the strain relief boot found on many patch cords. This can be advantageous in very tight-fitting patch panel environments where a boot might obstruct adjacent ports. However, care must be taken during installation and handling to avoid excessive pulling or bending on the RJ45 connector itself, as the lack of a boot reduces strain relief. Ensure connectors are fully seated in their ports for reliable connectivity.
