BERK-TEK | 11142628 CAT6A Plenum White 1000ft 750MHz REDUCED DIAMETER Ethernet Cable

Berk-Tek 11142628 Cat6A Plenum Cable - 1000ft

The Berk-Tek 11142628 Cat6A Plenum 1000ft cable does something most Cat6A cables don't: it slims down to a 0.230" diameter without giving up any performance. That's noticeably smaller than the 0.260" average for Cat6A. In high-density installations where conduit space and cable tray capacity are real constraints, that difference adds up fast. Made in the USA and independently verified by ETL as part of the Leviton Verified Performance Program, this Berk-Tek Cat6A Plenum cable is built for 10 Gigabit networks, full PoE++ support, and any environment where signal quality and physical installation efficiency both matter.

Features and Applications

The headline feature of this reduced-diameter Cat6A cable is the 0.230" profile, and it's not just a spec-sheet number. At that size, the cable improves tray-fill ratios in high-density cable runs, which directly cuts the number of conduits and trays you need on a job. That means lower material costs and less installation time, especially on large commercial projects where you're pulling hundreds of runs at once.

Berk-Tek achieves that slim profile by removing the traditional cross-filler found in most Cat6A cables. In its place, Precision Twist Technology maintains consistent pair geometry from one end of the reel to the other, ensuring reliable transmission for 2.5G, 5G, and 10G applications. The cable also uses Leviton's FLX-1 technology for flexibility and a tighter bend radius, so you can route it through tight spaces and around corners without losing signal integrity.

An isolation wrap surrounds the cable core and manages heat, a factor you can't ignore in PoE installations, where multiple power-carrying cables sit bundled together and generate real heat. Alien crosstalk performance clears Cat6A requirements by an 8 dB margin on both PSANEXT and PSAACRF, verified independently by ETL. Performance data holds up to 750 MHz, well past the 500 MHz Cat6A standard. This 750 MHz Ethernet cable gives you headroom for whatever runs across it over the next decade.

Uses

This cable is purpose-built for:

• 10GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T, and 2.5GBASE-T horizontal runs in enterprise, healthcare, education, and government facilities

• High-density cable installations in tray and conduit, where reduced diameter directly improves pathway efficiency and lowers infrastructure costs

• IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ (Types 1-4) for powering wireless access points, IP cameras, digital signage, and VoIP phones

• 802.11ac wireless infrastructure backhaul cabling in dense Wi-Fi deployments

• HD video and IP security systems that need low-noise signal transmission

• Plenum and air-handling spaces where CMP-rated, low-smoke cable is required by fire code

Construction

Each conductor is 23 AWG bare copper, insulated with thermoplastic. Two insulated conductors twist together to form a pair, and all four pairs cable together to form the core. Unlike conventional Cat6A cables, there's no cross filler; the pairs hold their position through Berk-Tek's Precision Twist Technology, which keeps electrical characteristics consistent from one end of the reel to the other. The core is wrapped with an isolation layer for heat management and noise reduction, then jacketed with a flame-retardant polymer alloy compound rated for plenum environments.

Color coding follows the standard scheme: Pair 1 is White/Blue, Pair 2 is White/Orange, Pair 3 is White/Green, and Pair 4 is White/Brown. The print legend on the jacket reads: BERK-TEK RDT UTP 23 AWG CMP 105C C(ETL)US CMP-LP (0.7A) ETL VERIFIED TIA-568.2-D CAT 6A US7560646.

Berk-Tek 11142628 1000 ft Pull Box: Built for High-Density and Bulk Jobs

This Berk-Tek 11142628 cable ships in a 1000 ft pull box, not on an open reel, and that packaging choice matters on a real jobsite. A pull box feeds cable from the center of the spool, so it won't tumble or tangle, and you don't need a second person holding it steady while you feed a run. For contractors pulling multiple drops across a floor or a building, that's less downtime between runs and less scrap at the end of the job.

If you're wiring a data center, server room, or any other high-density cable environment where conduit and tray space run tight, the pull box format paired with the 0.230" reduced diameter lets you plan tighter bundles without pushing past fill-ratio limits. When you know a project needs more than one spool, it makes sense to buy Berk-Tek 11142628 bulk. Ordering by the case keeps your per-foot cost down and cuts the number of reorders mid-project.

Buy Berk-Tek 11142628 - Made in the USA

Manufacturing happens entirely in the USA, and every reel carries C(ETL)US certification and ETL verification against TIA-568.2-D Category 6A. If your project spec calls for domestic-content cable, a common requirement on government, healthcare, and education contracts, the Berk-Tek 11142628 USA origin covers that requirement without extra paperwork on your end.

Berk-Tek 11142628 price depends on quantity and current copper markets, so it's worth getting a quote before you finalize a bill of materials rather than budgeting off a listed number. As your cable supplier for Cat6a plenum, riser, and shielded Cat6A runs, Discounted Cables stocks this part alongside the rest of the RDT line, so a single order covers mixed-length or mixed-color jobs without switching vendors mid-project.
