GenSPEED 7133801 Cat6 Riser 23AWG White 1000ft Solid Copper Ethernet Cable

The GenSPEED 7133801 Cat6 Riser 23AWG White 1000ft Solid Copper Ethernet Cable is designed for high-performance networking installations. This standards-compliant Category 6 cable delivers reliable data transmission for modern commercial and residential applications. The white CMR-rated riser cable comes in a convenient 1000-foot Pull-Pac II box, making it ideal for vertical runs between floors and structured cabling projects that demand consistent performance.

Specifications

This riser-rated cable features 23 AWG solid bare annealed copper conductors with polyolefin insulation, ensuring optimal signal integrity across all four twisted pairs. The cable measures 0.220 inches in nominal diameter and weighs 24 pounds per 1000 feet. It supports a maximum pulling force of 32 pounds with a minimum bend radius of 1.0 inch, providing flexibility during installation without compromising performance. Operating temperature ranges from -20°C to +75°C, with installation rated from 0°C to +60°C.

Features and Applications

The unique separator design maintains consistent electrical performance by keeping pairs properly spaced throughout the cable length. TRU-Mark print legend displays countdown footage markings from 1000 feet to zero, eliminating guesswork during installation. Third-party UL verification guarantees performance standards are met, while the flame-retardant PVC jacket meets NEC/CEC Type CMR requirements per UL 1666. A longitudinally applied rip cord simplifies jacket removal for terminations.

Uses

This cable supports IEEE 802.3 standards, including Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T), Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX), and standard Ethernet (10BASE-T). It handles Power over Ethernet applications, including PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. The cable also supports ANSI/TIA 854 1000BASE-TX, CDDI, Token Ring, ATM, digital video, and both broadband and baseband analog video applications. Building automation systems compliant with ANSI/TIA 862 can utilize this cable for control and monitoring networks.

Construction

Four twisted pairs follow standard color coding: Pair 1 (Blue-White/Blue), Pair 2 (Orange-White/Orange), Pair 3 (Green-White/Green), and Pair 4 (Brown-White/Brown). The internal divider separator maintains pair geometry for superior crosstalk performance. DC resistance measures 9.38 ohms per 100 meters maximum at 20°C, with unbalanced resistance within 4 percent across individual pairs. Nominal velocity of propagation reaches 68 percent the speed of light, while characteristic impedance maintains 100 ohms ±15 across the 1-250 MHz frequency range.

Standards Compliance

Manufactured in the USA, this cable meets ANSI/TIA 568.2-E Category 6 requirements and ISO/IEC 11801 Edition 2.0 Class E specifications. It complies with UL 444, ICEA S-116-732, and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU for environmental safety. The CMR rating satisfies NEC/CEC Type CMR per UL 1666 for riser applications, making it suitable for vertical cable runs in non-plenum spaces. Electrical performance exceeds industry standards across the full frequency spectrum from 1 MHz to 250 MHz, with reference data extending to 500 MHz.
