CommScope 760175331 GigaSPEED XL 5071A Cat6 Riser 23AWG Black Solid Copper 1000ft Cable

CommScope 760175331 GigaSPEED XL 5071A Cat6 Plenum 23AWG Black Solid Copper 1000ft Cable

Built for demanding network environments, this ETL-verified Category 6 cable delivers superior performance with Low Smoke Zero Halogen technology. The CMR-rated riser cable arrives in a 1000-foot WE TOTE box, offering excellent fire safety characteristics while meeting global installation standards. Its black LSZH jacket makes it particularly suitable for enclosed spaces where smoke and toxic fume emissions must be minimized during fire events.

Specifications

This unshielded twisted pair cable features 23 AWG bare copper conductors with polyolefin insulation across four color-coded pairs. DC resistance measures 7.61 ohms per 100 meters maximum, with unbalance held to 5 percent or less for consistent signal quality. The cable operates across frequencies up to 300+ MHz with a nominal velocity of propagation of 69 percent, while maintaining characteristic impedance stability. Dielectric strength reaches 1500 VAC minimum, ensuring reliable isolation between conductors. Mutual capacitance measures 5.6 nanofarads per 100 meters at 1 kHz, optimizing signal transmission characteristics.

Features and Applications

The internal bisector tape separator maintains precise pair geometry throughout the cable length, reducing crosstalk and ensuring performance consistency. This design supports a maximum operating voltage of 80 volts for standard networking applications. ETL verification provides third-party validation of electrical performance parameters. The cable weighs 27.93 pounds per 1000 feet, making it manageable during installation while maintaining structural integrity. Maximum pulling tension reaches 25 pounds, allowing confident handling through conduits and vertical pathways without damaging internal components.

Uses

Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 recommendations, this cable safely delivers high-power PoE applications when installed per ISO/IEC 14763-2, CENELEC EN 50174-1, CENELEC EN 50174-2, or TIA TSB-184-A guidelines. It supports modern Power over Ethernet devices requiring up to 100 watts, including advanced wireless access points, PTZ security cameras, LED lighting systems, and building automation equipment. The cable handles Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and standard Ethernet protocols for versatile network connectivity. Its wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +75°C makes it suitable for both climate-controlled data centers and harsh industrial environments.

Construction

Four twisted pairs follow industry-standard color coding: orange/white-orange, blue/white-blue, green/white-green, and brown/white-brown. Each pair consists of solid bare copper conductors wrapped in polyolefin insulation, chosen for excellent electrical properties and long-term stability. The polyolefin separator bisector tape runs longitudinally through the cable core, dividing pairs into two groups to maintain spacing and minimize interference. The outer Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket provides mechanical protection while meeting stringent fire safety requirements under UL 1666 and UL 1685 flame test methods, plus UL 1685-LS smoke test standards.

Additional Information

The CMR riser rating qualifies this cable for vertical runs between floors in non-plenum spaces, meeting both CM-LS and CMR fire safety listings. Installation temperature ranges from 0°C to +60°C, with a UL temperature rating of 75°C for operational safety. Available globally across Asia, Australia/New Zealand, EMEA, Latin America, and North America regions, the GigaSPEED XL 5071A meets international building codes. The WE TOTE box packaging simplifies dispensing and reduces waste during installation. Low Smoke Zero Halogen construction benefits transit systems, educational facilities, healthcare environments, and commercial buildings where occupant safety during fire events is paramount. This environmentally conscious cable choice reduces halogenated compounds without sacrificing electrical performance or mechanical durability.
