GENSPEED

GENSPEED Category 6A cable, such as SKU 60UP01, features 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors, a PVC jacket, and standard pairs separation. It is riser-rated and supports frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it suitable for 10GBASE-T networks. The cable is available in 1,000 ft lengths and is identified by manufacturer part number 7143819. It is designed for structured cabling in commercial buildings and data centers where higher bandwidth is required. The blue jacket allows for easy identification in cable trays and patch panels.

Plenum-rated GENSPEED cables, such as SKU 1MUL5, are designed for installation in air-handling spaces and meet specific fire safety standards for low smoke and flame spread. Riser-rated cables, like SKU 1MUL9, are intended for vertical shafts between floors and have different fire-resistant properties. Both types are available in Category 6 and 6A constructions. The choice depends on local building codes and the specific pathway of the cable run. Plenum cables are typically required in environmental air spaces, while riser cables are used in risers and general horizontal runs.

Yes, GENSPEED offers shielded Category 6 cables, such as SKU 450X07. This cable features 23 AWG solid conductors, a PVC jacket, and standard pairs separation. It is riser-rated and designed for vertical installations. The shielding provides protection against electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for industrial environments or areas with high electrical noise. The cable is available in 1,000 ft lengths and is identified by manufacturer part number 6133785. Shielded cables require proper grounding and termination practices to maintain performance.

GENSPEED Category 6 cables typically use 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors and PVC jackets. This applies to both unshielded and shielded versions, as well as plenum and riser ratings. For example, SKU 1MUL5 (plenum, unshielded) and SKU 450X25 (riser, solid) both use 23 AWG conductors and PVC jackets. The PVC jacket provides durability and resistance to moisture and chemicals. The conductor gauge is consistent across the Category 6 line, ensuring predictable electrical performance. Some SKUs may have enhanced pair separation for reduced crosstalk.

Yes, GENSPEED Category 6A cable is designed to support 10GBASE-T networks. It operates at frequencies up to 500 MHz, which is required for 10GBASE-T transmission over distances up to 100 meters. SKU 60UP01 is an example of a Category 6A riser cable with 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors and standard pairs separation. It is suitable for data center and enterprise backbone installations. For optimal performance, proper installation practices and component compatibility should be observed. The cable meets Category 6A performance standards.

GENSPEED cables are commonly available in 1,000 ft (305 m) lengths, as seen in the product listings. This length is standard for bulk cable reels used in structured cabling installations. For example, SKU 60UP01, SKU 450X07, and SKU 1MUL5 are all 1,000 ft lengths. Other lengths may be available depending on the specific SKU and manufacturer packaging. 3G Electric can provide details on available lengths and packaging for each part number. Bulk reels are typically used for large projects, while shorter lengths may be available for smaller jobs.
