The Genesis 51931006 is a Category 6A riser-rated cable built for high-performance network installations that demand consistent 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. Sweep tested to 700 MHz and UL verified to TIA-568.2-D Cat 6A, this cable goes well beyond the baseline standard, making it a dependable choice for wireless access points, IP video surveillance systems, and data center backbone runs. Whether you're wiring a new commercial building or upgrading an existing network, this cable is designed to handle the load without compromise.
Product Specifications
The Genesis 5193 runs 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors across 4 pairs (8 conductors total) with a nominal cable diameter of 0.276 inches. DC resistance measures 9.38 Ohms per 100 meters at 20°C, and capacitance sits at 5.6 nanofarads per 100 meters. The cable is rated for 300 volts and carries a temperature rating of -20°C to 75°C for both operation and storage. Electrical performance data is verified across a full frequency sweep from 1 MHz to 700 MHz, with insertion loss at 100 MHz reaching 19.1 dB/100m, NEXT minimum of 44.3 dB/100m, and PSANEXT minimum of 62.5 dB/100m at that same frequency.
Features and Applications
This cable holds UL 1666 riser (CMR) certification and CSA C22.2 No. 2556 FT4 rating, confirming it meets fire propagation requirements for vertical runs between floors. It is also sunlight resistant rated, ETL verified to TIA-568.2-D Category 6A, and fully REACH/RoHS compliant. The cable carries both UL and C(UL)US markings, making it suitable for installations across the United States and Canada. The print legend on the jacket includes all compliance markings along with Genesis Countdown® length markings, which count down remaining footage as the cable is pulled — a practical feature that reduces guesswork and cuts down on waste during installation.
Uses
Approved installation environments include metal raceways compliant with NEC 300.22(B), solid-bottom metal cable trays with solid metal covers, riser pathways between building floors, general indoor spaces outside of air-handling areas, and locations with direct sunlight exposure. This makes it a versatile option for multi-story office buildings, schools, hospitals, warehouses, and outdoor-adjacent runs where UV resistance matters.
Construction
The internal structure features bare copper conductors insulated with polypropylene or polyethylene, surrounded by a spline separator that physically isolates each pair to reduce crosstalk. A noncontinuous aluminum tape wraps all four pairs to suppress alien crosstalk interference further. A durable rip cord sits just inside the outer jacket for clean, efficient jacket removal during termination. The standard four-pair color code applies — blue/blue+white, orange/orange+white, green/green+white, and brown/brown+white — for straightforward pair identification at both ends.
Additional Information
The Genesis 51931006 is packaged on a 1000-foot Reel with Countdown® length markings printed directly on the jacket, so installers always know exactly how much cable remains on the spool. The cable's performance table spans 20 frequency points from 1 MHz to 700 MHz, providing detailed insertion loss, NEXT, PSNEXT, return loss, PSANEXT, and PSAACRF values for engineers and installers who need to verify channel performance against specific project requirements. Genesis Cable is headquartered in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, and backs this product with ETL third-party verification to provide added confidence in the listed specifications.
