What customers say
Professionals overwhelmingly value the Belden 2413 Enhanced CAT6 Plenum cable for its superior reliability and guaranteed performance, justifying the higher cost. Installers consistently report excellent electrical characteristics, ensuring successful certification even across long distances, which is vital for demanding high-speed networks. The plenum rating is a key feature, providing necessary safety and code compliance for commercial infrastructure. Users trust the inherent quality control, leading to fewer installation issues and minimal signal loss compared to less expensive options. While the initial price is a factor, the consensus is that the long-term dependability and reduced troubleshooting make this cable an excellent investment for mission-critical applications.
Know before you buy
A plenum rating (CMP) means this cable is jacketed with specialized materials that produce low smoke and limited flame spread. It is specifically designed to be safely installed in air-handling spaces, such as the areas above drop ceilings or below raised floors.
Yes, this cable is fully compatible with Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed protocols. With a bandwidth capacity of up to 350 MHz, it comfortably exceeds the requirements for standard Cat6 performance.
This is a U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable, meaning it does not have individual or overall metallic shielding. Instead, it uses a tape separator between the pairs to minimize crosstalk and maintain signal integrity in standard network environments.
Yes, the cable includes an integrated rip cord under the jacket. This allows you to quickly and cleanly strip the outer Flamarrest material without risking damage to the internal copper conductors.
This cable features 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors. Solid conductors are the industry standard for permanent, in-wall horizontal cabling runs because they offer superior signal performance over longer distances compared to stranded alternatives.
