What is Cat6 Plenum Cable

What is Cat6 Plenum Cable? This 5' Blue Cat6 cable is one product in our line of handmade Cat6 Plenum cables. Unlike Riser cables and other non Plenum patch cables which may be made using materials such as PVC which can be harmful in the event of a fire, our Plenum rated cables have a plenum jacket which makes them much safer for use in plenum spaces such as ventilation systems since they will not circulate harmful smoke throughout a building if they were to get caught in a fire. It is important to remember that Cat 6 Riser rated cables (sometimes marketed as cable Risers) are not sufficient replacements for a Plenum Cat6 Ethernet cable.

It is also worth noting that, unless otherwise stated, most of our Communications Plenum (CMP) Cat6 cables are built with Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling. While a Category 6 shielded cable reduces the effect of crosstalk and other electromagnetic interferences (EMI), this is generally unneeded in Plenum areas. With that being said, we do offer STP Cat6 Plenum 1000ft cable spools here if you decide it is the right cable type for completing your network. While our lines of Cat6 cables easily exceed the speeds of any Cat5e cable, some professionals require even greater speeds. In these cases, we would instead recommend our bulk 1000 ft Cat6a Ethernet cabling which can be viewed here.
