Why Choose Cat6a Riser Cable?
Cat6a riser cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, with bandwidth up to 750 MHz. This makes it the preferred choice for modern networks that require consistent, high-speed data transmission across multiple floors. The 23 AWG solid copper conductors and advanced pair separation minimize crosstalk, ensuring your network runs smoothly even in demanding environments.
All our Cat6a riser cables carry a CMR (Communications Riser) rating. This means the flame-retardant jacket prevents fire from spreading between floors, meeting ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and National Electrical Code requirements for vertical installations. You can install with confidence, knowing your project will pass inspection and keep occupants safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Cat6 riser?
Cat6 riser is a Category 6 Ethernet cable with a CMR-rated jacket, designed for vertical runs between building floors. The flame-retardant jacket prevents fire from spreading through riser spaces, meeting code requirements and supporting high-speed data transmission.
What are the benefits of using a riser cable?
Riser cables provide essential fire safety for vertical installations, meeting building codes and preventing fire spread between floors. They offer reliable network performance, support various applications, cost less than plenum cables, and ensure code compliance.
Is a riser cable the same as an Ethernet cable?
Riser cable refers to the fire-safety rating (CMR) of an Ethernet cable, not a separate type. Any Ethernet cable, Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6a, can have a riser-rated jacket. The CMR rating addresses fire resistance, not data performance.
What is the difference between Cat6 and 6A cable?
Cat6 supports up to 250 MHz bandwidth and 10 Gbps up to 55 meters. Cat6a supports 500+ MHz and maintains 10 Gbps up to 100 meters, with improved construction to reduce crosstalk, making it better for demanding, future-ready networks.
