Superior Essex 6A-246-4B Cat6A Plenum UTP 23AWG Solid Copper 1000ft White Ethernet Cable
The Superior Essex 6A-246-4B is a high-performance 23 AWG solid annealed copper Category 6A plenum (CMP) unshielded twisted pair cable engineered for high-bandwidth 10GBASE-T enterprise Ethernet networks. Built with a proprietary core wrap and cross-web internal separator, this cable provides guaranteed 1 dB alien crosstalk (AXT) margin and is rigorously tested to 650 MHz—delivering substantial headroom beyond standard Cat6A specifications. UL Listed and verified to ANSI/TIA-568.2-E, it delivers reliable, low-latency transmission for enterprise backbones, data centers, healthcare, and educational facilities.
Construction & Design
Each of the four conductor pairs features premium FEP thermoplastic insulation utilizing the ColorTip circuit identification system for effortless conductor pairing in low-light environments. The low-smoke, flame-retardant polyvinyl chloride (LSPVC) jacket carries a strict CMP (plenum) fire rating, certified under NEC (NFPA 70) Article 800 for air-handling spaces and drop ceilings. The cable incorporates a proprietary core wrap that delivers robust AXT protection without requiring metallic shield grounding or bonding.
