The Prysmian GenSPEED 10 UTP Gen5 Category 6A Cable (Part No. 7151820) is a white, 1000ft plenum-rated Ethernet cable built for the demands of modern commercial and enterprise networks. As the industry's smallest full-channel, component-compliant Cat 6A cable, it packs a nominal outer diameter of just 0.230 inches — giving installers more room to work with in crowded conduit runs without compromising on performance. Made entirely in the U.S.A. and compliant with ANSI/TIA 568.2-D, this fifth-generation design combines smart engineering with independently verified electrical performance, making it one of the more thoughtfully built Cat 6A options available today.

Features and Applications
What makes the GenSPEED Gen5 stand out isn't just the slim diameter — it's how that design pays off across a full installation. The simplified construction means less time stripping and terminating, and the improved bend radius makes routing through tight corners genuinely easier. The 105°C CMP jacket rating is a practical advantage for high-density PoE deployments where heat buildup is a real concern. And the TRU-Mark® footage markings — counting down from 1000' to 0' — help installers track exactly how much cable they've pulled without any guesswork.
Performance is guaranteed at +2 dB above the ANSI/TIA 568.2-D standard for PSANEXT, and the cable holds CMP-LP 0.7A certification, confirming it's rated for 100W power over HDBaseT. That combination of verified performance and high-power PoE capability covers most of what enterprise installers are working with today.
Uses
This cable is designed for:
10GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T Ethernet
PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ (Types 1–4) power delivery
100W Power over HDBaseT (PHoE/ChdBT)
High-density LAN infrastructure in commercial, enterprise, and institutional buildings
Digital video distribution
Broadband and baseband analog video
Building automation systems (ANSI/TIA 862)
CDDI, Token Ring, and ATM applications
Construction
Each conductor is 23 AWG solid bare annealed copper, insulated with fluoropolymer for plenum-safe performance. Four individually insulated pairs are twisted together and wrapped in an encapsulated isolation wrap that acts as the primary defense against alien crosstalk (ANEXT) — eliminating the need for bulkier designs. The outer jacket is a low-smoke, flame-retardant PVC formulated for CMP-rated plenum spaces, fully compliant with NFPA 262.
Color coding: Pair 1 (Blue/White), Pair 2 (Orange/White), Pair 3 (Green/White), Pair 4 (Brown/White).
Additional Information
The 7151820 ships on a spool in a white jacket, making it easy to identify in multi-cable installations. A Pull-Pac® version (Part No. 7151801) is also available if your installation process benefits from box-style dispensing. Other jacket colors — blue, gray, yellow, green, red, purple, orange, pink, and black — are available across the Gen5 spool and Pull-Pac lineup. Non-stock colors may carry minimum order requirements.
Standard compliances include ANSI/TIA 568.2-D, NEC/CEC Type CMP (NFPA 262), UL 444, UL 4299, ISO/IEC 11801 Ed. 2.0 (Class EA), ICEA S-116-732, ANSI/TIA 862, and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
