Applications & Uses
Designed for structured cabling systems in commercial buildings, data centres, educational facilities, healthcare environments, and residential installations where plenum-rated cable is required by code. Supports Gigabit Ethernet networks, Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX), 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T), ATM applications (25/51/155/622 Mbps), FDDI (ANSI X3T9.5 TP-PMD), and Token Ring networks. Ideal for powering IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and other PoE devices. Compatible with HDBaseT installations for transmitting uncompressed HD video, audio, power, and control signals over a single cable.
Construction & Materials
Features solid bare copper conductors with fluoropolymer mini spline filler that maintains pair separation and cable geometry for consistent electrical performance. Color-coded pairs follow industry standards: Blue/White-Blue (P1), Orange/White-Orange (P2), Green/White-Green (P3), and Brown/White-Brown (P4). The low-smoke, fire-retardant PVC jacket meets NEC CMP requirements and FT6 fire test standards, ensuring safe operation in plenum spaces with temperatures ranging from -20°C to +75°C. Includes an integrated rip cord for easy jacket removal during termination.
Additional Information
