Frequently Asked Questions
What is a plenum-rated (CMP) cable, and when do you need it?
Plenum-rated (CMP) cable has a fire-retardant jacket that produces less smoke and toxic fumes. You must use it in air-handling spaces, such as above drop ceilings or below raised floors, to meet building codes.
What is the difference between CMP and CMR cable?
CMP (plenum) cable is for air-handling spaces and meets stricter fire safety standards. CMR (riser) cable is for vertical runs between floors, but not for plenums. Always use CMP where required by codes.
Does the Superior Essex 77-240-2b support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable supports all standard PoE applications, including PoE and PoE+, thanks to its solid copper conductors.
What is the maximum run length for Cat6 plenum cable?
The maximum recommended run length is 100 meters (328 feet) for a single cable segment, including patch cords.
What is the difference between solid and stranded copper cables?
Solid copper cables, like the 77 240 2b superior essex, are best for permanent installations. Stranded copper is more flexible and used for patch cables.
The Superior Essex 77-240-2b Cat6 Plenum cable gives you certified safety, solid copper performance, and easy installation. You meet every code, support every application, and enjoy tax-free delivery from Discounted Cables. Choose the cable trusted by professionals for your next project.
