23 AWG Category 6 UTP 1000FT Reel Teal Outdoor Cable 11099212
[pdf] [/pdf]
Also Known As :
It is a type of network cabling that is used in buildings where air circulation for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HVAC) is provided through the space above the ceiling or below the floor that is used for air return flow.
About :
UTP cables are commonly used in commercial buildings, especially in areas where the building code requires their use due to their enhanced safety characteristics. They typically cost more than non-plenum-rated cables due to the materials used in their construction.

Construction
23 AWG bare copper wire insulated with thermoplastic. This cable has dual ratings, meaning it is suitable for both riser applications (CMR) and outdoor uses (CMX):
As a CMR-rated cable, it can be run vertically between floors in non-plenum spaces.
The CMX rating signifies it is also designed for outdoor applications, where it can resist exposure to the elements, UV radiation, and varying temperatures. The polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket is durable and designed to withstand UV exposure, moisture, and temperature fluctuations typical of outdoor environments. However, it’s important to note that while PVC provides good resistance to these factors, it is not as resistant to fire as plenum-rated cables and should not be used in plenum spaces.
