Liberty AV 24-4P-P-L6-EN-WHT 1000' White Category 6 U/UTP EN Series 23 AWG 4 Pair Unshielded Cable Reel

Product Overview

The Liberty AV 24-4P-P-L6-EN-WHT is a 1000ft reel of Category 6 U/UTP plenum-rated cable designed for horizontal in-ceiling and in-wall runs in commercial AV and IT infrastructure installations. Rated CMP under NEC and CMP FT6 under CEC, this Cat6 plenum cable satisfies building code requirements for air-handling spaces without conduit. Third-party certified by UL and ETL to ANSI/TIA-568-C Category 6 performance, it is tested to 550 MHz with a positive ACR spec — making it a reliable backbone for AV-over-IP, 1GbE data, VoIP, and PoE deployments in commercial environments.

Product Description

The 24-4P-P-L6-EN-WHT is Liberty AV's EN Series Cat6 plenum cable, built for commercial AV system designers and integrators who need a code-compliant, high-performance horizontal cabling solution. The 23 AWG solid annealed bare copper conductors are insulated with FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene / Teflon™), which provides the low smoke and flame-spread characteristics required for plenum air-handling spaces under NFPA 90A. Four twisted pairs are cabled on a common axis with varying lay lengths and separated by a fluoropolymer X-separator interstice, controlling crosstalk to meet Cat6 performance thresholds at every frequency up to 550 MHz.

The white plenum-rated PVC alloy jacket makes this cable suitable for open-ceiling commercial deployments where cable color coding aids identification. A ripcord under the jacket simplifies termination in the field. The cable carries a 300V voltage rating and supports PoE and PoE+ applications per IEEE 802.3af/at, making it appropriate for IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP handsets, and HDBaseT AV extenders. With an outside diameter of 0.220" and a pull tension rating of 25 lbs, it installs cleanly through standard commercial conduit and cable management systems. This 1000ft reel format reduces material waste and is standard for bulk commercial AV infrastructure pulls.

Key Features

• CMP Plenum Rating — NEC CMP and CEC CMP FT6 rated for use in air-handling plenum spaces without conduit, satisfying fire code requirements in commercial buildings.
• 23 AWG Solid Bare Copper Conductors — Solid annealed bare copper provides lower DC resistance (≤20.12 Ω/1000') than 24 AWG alternatives, supporting longer runs and higher PoE power delivery.
• FEP (Teflon™) Insulation — Fluorinated ethylene propylene insulation delivers the low-smoke, low-flame characteristics required for plenum-rated cables while maintaining stable electrical performance.
• Tested to 550 MHz — Verified positive ACR performance to 550 MHz, exceeding the Cat6 minimum 250 MHz requirement for margin in dense AV-over-IP environments.
• UL and ETL Third-Party Certified — Independently certified to ANSI/TIA-568-C Category 6, ensuring the cable meets documented performance standards for commercial network infrastructure.
• Fluoropolymer X-Separator — Each pair occupies its own quadrant in a cross-filler separator, minimizing alien crosstalk and maintaining pair geometry through installation bends.
• Ripcord Under Jacket — Integrated ripcord speeds field termination by allowing clean jacket removal without cable or conductor damage.
• 1000ft Reel Format — Full 305m reel is standard for commercial horizontal cable pulls, reducing splice points and per-foot cost on large AV and IT infrastructure projects.
• RoHS Compliant — EU RoHS-2 2011/65/EU compliant for projects requiring environmentally restricted substance documentation.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable compliant for use in air-handling plenum spaces?

Yes. The 24-4P-P-L6-EN-WHT carries NEC CMP and CEC CMP FT6 ratings, which qualify it for installation in plenum air-handling spaces as defined by NFPA 90A and the National Electrical Code. No conduit is required in qualifying spaces, reducing installation labor and material cost on commercial projects.

What is the maximum channel length for this cable?

Per ANSI/TIA-568-C, the maximum horizontal channel length is 100m (328ft), which includes up to 90m (295ft) of permanent link cable and 10m allocated for patch cords. This applies to all Cat6 applications including 1000BASE-T (1GbE) and PoE/PoE+ deployments.

Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

Yes. The 23 AWG solid copper conductors with DC resistance ≤20.12 Ω/1000' support PoE (IEEE 802.3af, 15.4W) and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, 30W) without excessive voltage drop across standard 90m permanent link runs. It is suitable for powering IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras in commercial AV and IT infrastructure.

What connectors are used to terminate this cable?

This U/UTP Cat6 cable terminates with standard Cat6 RJ-45 plugs (field-termination) or 110/IDC-style Cat6 keystone jacks and patch panel punchdowns. No special shielded connectors are required. Follow ANSI/TIA-568-C pair untwist limits (13mm maximum for Cat6) during termination to maintain Category 6 performance.

Can this cable be installed below freezing temperatures?

No. Plenum cables with PVC alloy jackets should be conditioned at room temperature for 24 hours prior to installation and must not be installed in ambient temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Cold PVC becomes brittle and can crack during pulling, especially at bend points.

What is the difference between this EN Series plenum cable and a standard CMR riser cable?

CMR (riser-rated) cable is approved for vertical runs between floors in non-plenum shaft spaces. CMP (plenum-rated) cable like this EN Series meets the stricter NFPA 90A smoke and flame requirements for air-handling spaces. CMP cable can substitute for CMR anywhere in the building, but CMR cannot be used in plenum spaces. For mixed installations, using a single plenum-rated cable throughout simplifies code compliance.

What is the reel format and estimated weight for project planning?

This cable ships on a 1000ft (305m) reel — the standard format for commercial horizontal cable pulls. The 0.220" outside diameter is compatible with standard 1" conduit fills at typical Cat6 bundle counts. Consult conduit fill tables (NEC Article 358/362) when planning multi-cable conduit runs.
