Engineered for lossless 4K and Ultra HD AV signal distribution at distances up to 330 ft (100 m) over DigitalMedia 8G+ and HDBaseT systems, this cable is individually tested and certified per spool to exceed HDMI specifications requiring fewer than one pixel error per billion. The black jacket makes it ideal for installations where cable visibility or color-coding conventions require differentiation from the standard blue DM-CBL-ULTRA-P.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigitalMedia Ultra Cable is Crestron's guaranteed wiring solution for DM 8G+ AV distribution systems. The DM-CBL-ULTRA-P-B-SP1000 is the black, plenum-rated variant, delivered on a 1,000-foot spool for large-scale commercial AV installations. The S\/FTP construction features four individually shielded twisted pairs (foil-shielded) plus an overall tinned copper braid shield, providing superior immunity to electromagnetic interference in high-density AV equipment rooms, data centers, and commercial plenum spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable uses 22 AWG solid bare copper conductors with foam FEP insulation, delivering a characteristic impedance of 100 ohms and a velocity of propagation of 74% nominal — specifications consistent with Category 7a performance. Each conductor pair is color-coded (blue\/white, orange\/white, green\/white, brown\/white) for field identification during termination. The outer jacket is low-smoke PVC at 0.304 inches (7.7 mm) nominal OD, with measurement markings printed on the jacket for accurate length verification without a tape measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDM Ultra Cable is qualified for use with 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks, making it a future-compatible infrastructure choice for AV-over-IP deployments using DM NVX or similar systems alongside HDBaseT AV distribution. It terminates using Crestron DM-CONN shielded RJ45 connectors (sold separately), which require no crimping tool for fast, reliable field termination. Type CMP rating means this cable meets the National Electrical Code Article 800 requirements for plenum air-handling spaces without conduit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Plenum Jacket (Type CMP)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Approved for installation in environmental air-handling spaces per NEC Article 800; black jacket for color-coded or low-visibility installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAT7a S\/FTP Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — Four individually foil-shielded twisted pairs plus overall braid shield for maximum EMI rejection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4K and Ultra HD Certified\u003c\/strong\u003e — Exceeds HDMI specifications at less than one pixel error per billion at distances up to 330 ft (100 m).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e22 AWG Solid Bare Copper\u003c\/strong\u003e — Solid conductors ensure consistent signal integrity and low DC resistance over long pull distances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1,000-Foot Spool\u003c\/strong\u003e — Full spool quantity for efficient large-venue or multi-room commercial AV infrastructure installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndividually Tested and Certified\u003c\/strong\u003e — Every spool is tested at the factory; includes test certification for verified performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Markings on Jacket\u003c\/strong\u003e — Length markings printed on the outer jacket allow accurate cut measurement without additional tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10-Gigabit Ethernet Qualified\u003c\/strong\u003e — Suitable for structured data cabling applications requiring CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT7 performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo-Crimp Termination\u003c\/strong\u003e — Terminates with Crestron DM-CONN connectors (sold separately) without a crimping tool for fast field terminations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial AV distribution in buildings with plenum air-handling spaces requiring CMP-rated cabling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigitalMedia 8G+ AV infrastructure in boardrooms, conference rooms, and multi-room commercial spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHDBaseT AV distribution in auditoriums, training rooms, and all-hands rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAV-over-IP network cabling infrastructure for DM NVX systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallations where black cable is required for color-coding, conduit conventions, or aesthetic reasons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCAT7a S\/FTP (shielded twisted pair); four individually shielded pairs, overall shield\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlenum Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType CMP; NEC Article 800, UL Subject 444, cUL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConductors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 AWG solid bare copper; 4 pairs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInsulation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFoam FEP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConductor Colors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue\/white, orange\/white, green\/white, brown\/white\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePair Shield\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum foil (per pair)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Shield\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTinned copper braid (\u0026gt;50% coverage)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Jacket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow Smoke PVC, black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJacket Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.018 in.
