Know before you buy
Plenum-rated (CMP) means the cable jacket is constructed from materials that produce less smoke and flame if burned. This is a safety requirement for running cables through air ducts, plenums, and drop ceilings in commercial buildings.
No, this cable is not outdoor-rated. It is designed specifically for indoor commercial environments and should not be exposed to the elements or direct sunlight.
This specific cable does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE). It is intended for standard data transmission between switches, servers, and patch panels.
Yes, because this cable uses solid 24 AWG copper conductors, it is stiffer than stranded patch cables. It is best suited for permanent, long-run installations inside walls or ceilings rather than for frequent movement or patching.
The cable comes in a 1,000-foot pull box designed for easy dispensing. This allows you to pull the exact length needed for your run without tangling or needing to remove the entire spool from the box.
