Description
The General Cable GenSPEED 10,000 Category 6A Plenum (CMP) cable (part number 7131826) delivers robust signal strength, high electrical throughput, and superior alien crosstalk suppression for 10GBASE-T enterprise networks. Constructed with 23 AWG solid bare annealed copper conductors and premium fluoropolymer insulation, this cable features General Cable's innovative T-Top cross-web separator that locks the twisted pairs into a systematic orientation, preserving critical pair geometry under installation tension. Engineered with proprietary AirEs jacket technology, it provides exceptional flexibility during routing and maximizes pair separation between adjacent cables to ensure dependable PSANEXT and PSAACRF performance across dense bundles. Rated CMP (NFPA 262 / UL 444) for commercial plenum air handling spaces, this cable operates smoothly across -20°C to +75°C and supports high-power PoE/PoE+ applications. Supplied on a 1,000-foot orange spool with TRU-Mark footage markings, it is certified to ANSI/TIA 568-C.2 and proudly made in the USA.
