Red Cat6 Plenum Bare Copper Cable 1000ft — Technical Overview
The 52Networks Red Cat6 Plenum Bare Copper Cable (1000ft) is a commercial-grade, CMP fire-rated unshielded twisted pair (UTP) bulk Ethernet cable engineered for indoor air-handling spaces, emergency life-safety networks, fire alarm IP communicators, and security access control trunks. Built with 23 AWG 100% solid bare copper conductors, Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) insulation, and an internal longitudinal PE spline, it exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D / 568.2-E and ISO/IEC 11801 standards up to 550MHz. It supports 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet up to 328ft (100m), 10GBASE-T up to 165ft (50m), and full IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ (up to 90W) without the voltage drop, heat buildup, or NEC code violations associated with Copper-Clad Aluminum (CCA) cables.
The Commercial Benchmark for Life-Safety, Fire Alarm IP & Critical Security Trunks
In commercial construction and low-voltage facility integration, critical emergency and security circuits must never be confused with everyday office workstation cabling. Under ANSI/TIA-606-C color-coding best practices, high-visibility red jacket cabling is the universal indicator for life-safety systems, IP fire alarm panel communicators, emergency mass-notification intercoms, biometric door access controllers, and primary IP surveillance backbones.
When routing these critical circuits above suspended drop ceilings or beneath raised data center floors used for HVAC air return, municipal building inspectors and the National Electrical Code (NEC Article 800) strictly enforce CMP plenum-rated cabling. Our Red Cat6 Plenum Bare Copper Cable 1000ft combines unmistakable red circuit identification with certified NFPA 262 (UL 910) low-smoke flame resistance.

Core Engineering & Performance Advantages
⚡ 23 AWG 100% Solid Bare Copper
Zero CCA. Pure annealed solid bare copper conductors deliver superior conductivity, ultra-low DC resistance (≤9.38 Ω/100m), and rugged mechanical termination strength at access-control terminal blocks, keystone jacks, and patch panels.
🔥 CMP Plenum Fire-Safety Rating
Engineered with a low-smoke, flame-retardant red CMP jacket and FEP conductor insulation tested to NFPA 262 (UL 910 Steiner Tunnel Test) standards. Code-approved for HVAC return air plenums, drop ceilings, and raised floors.
🔋 90W PoE++ for Security & Access Control
Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt Type 3 & 4 (PoE++ up to 90W). Safely powers PoE door mag-locks, biometric card readers, emergency IP call stations, and multi-sensor PTZ security cameras.
🛡️ Internal Spline & 550MHz Headroom
Precision longitudinal PE cross-web separator (spline) isolates all 4 twisted pairs to eliminate Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Alien Crosstalk (AXT), maintaining uninterrupted signal integrity across dense MDF/IDF closets.
Key Features of Red Cat6 Plenum Bare Copper Cable 1000ft
- True 100% Solid Bare Copper: Maximum electrical conductivity and PoE++ longevity — never Copper-Clad Aluminum (CCA).
- Fluke Tested & Verified: Independently verified up to 550MHz for compliant Permanent Link (295ft / 90m) and Channel (328ft / 100m) runs.
- Multi-Gigabit Bandwidth: Supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T (1 Gbps up to 328ft), and 10GBASE-T (10 Gbps up to 165ft), plus 155/622 ATM and broadband video.
- High-Visibility Red Jacket Identification: Immediately alerts technicians and inspectors that the circuit carries life-safety, fire alarm IP, or critical security traffic.
- NEC Code Compliant CMP Jacket: Low-smoke, UV- and sunlight-resistant flame-retardant plenum jacket safe for all indoor environmental air-circulation spaces.
- Tangle-Free 1000ft Easy Pull Box: Reinforced wide-mouth payout box prevents kinks, knots, and snags during high-speed conduit or J-hook pulls.
- Sequential Footage Markings: Printed every 2 feet along the red jacket so installers can measure runs and track remaining box footage instantaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A: Across commercial construction and TIA-606-C color-coding standards, red Ethernet cable is designated for emergency life-safety systems, IP fire alarm communicators, emergency mass-notification intercoms, biometric door access control panels, and critical security camera trunks.
A: It is 100% Pure Solid Bare Copper (23 AWG) — we never use Copper-Clad Aluminum (CCA) in this cable. Pure bare copper is essential for life-safety and security circuits because it meets strict NEC fire codes, prevents brittle wire breakage at terminal blocks, and eliminates voltage drop over long PoE++ runs.
A: CMP (Plenum) cable is mandatory under NEC Article 800 whenever cabling is installed inside environmental air-handling spaces—such as above suspended drop ceilings or beneath raised floors used for HVAC air return—without metallic conduit. Its FEP insulation and flame-retardant jacket self-extinguish and prevent toxic smoke circulation during a fire.
A: Yes. Thanks to its thick 23 AWG 100% solid bare copper conductors and low DC resistance (≤9.38 Ohms/100m), it fully supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+ up to 30W), and IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 & 4 (PoE++ up to 90W) for PoE door strikes/mag-locks, biometric card readers, emergency IP call stations, and PTZ cameras.
A: Yes! You can combine Red 1000ft Easy Pull Boxes with any of our other stocked colors (Black, Blue, Green, Grey, Pink, Purple, White, and Yellow) to qualify for multi-box contractor discounts and pallet freight pricing.
