VERTICAL CABLE 062 SERIES – CAT6 F/UTP CMR CABLE
The 062 Series CAT6 CMR cable delivers foil-shielded, riser-rated performance for standard CAT6 installations where EMI interference or PoE Type 3 power delivery is part of the picture. Built with 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors, an AL/PET overall shield, and a PVC riser jacket, it meets and exceeds the requirements of ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801 across a tested bandwidth of 550 MHz.
KEY FEATURES
Here’s what makes the 062 Series the right shielded CAT6 CMR cable for commercial and enterprise runs:
- F/UTP Shielded Construction: Overall AL/PET foil shield with TC drain wire provides reliable EMI rejection for installations near power conduit, fluorescent lighting, or industrial equipment.
- 23 AWG Solid Bare Copper Conductors: Full solid copper construction maintains signal integrity across the channel and satisfies TIA-568.2-D permanent link requirements.
- Meets or Exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801: Verified performance at and above the standard, suitable for structured cabling systems that require documented compliance.
- PoE Type 3 Ready (IEEE 802.3bt): Supports up to 60W power delivery for mid-draw PoE devices including wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones.
- 550 MHz Tested Bandwidth: Full performance data published from 1–550 MHz across NEXT, PSNEXT, ACRF, PSACRF, Return Loss, and Delay. Note: data above 250 MHz is for reference only per spec.
- CMR Riser Fire Rating: Rated for vertical runs between floors in compliance with NEC Article 800 CMR requirements and IEC 60332-1.
- ETL Listed: Third-party verified to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D by Intertek. The c(ETL)us mark is printed on the jacket, not just stated on a datasheet.
- RoHS Compliant: Meets current EU RoHS directives for hazardous substance restrictions.
- Vivid Nine-Color Jacket Options: Black, Blue, Green, Grey, Orange, Purple, Red, White, and Yellow, color-code by floor, zone, or application at pull time, not label time.
- 1,000 ft. Spool: Feeds cleanly for commercial horizontal runs. Weight: 40 lbs. (18.14 kg).
APPLICATIONS
The 062 Series CAT6 CMR cable is the right fit for installations where shielding matters but CAT6A isn’t required:
- Commercial Office Buildings: Run shielded horizontal cabling in environments with fluorescent lighting, HVAC systems, or dense electrical infrastructure.
- Healthcare Facilities: Protect data signal quality in environments with sensitive equipment and strict EMI regulations.
- Education Campuses: Deploy PoE Type 3-capable cabling for wireless APs, IP intercoms, and access control devices across multi-story buildings.
- Hospitality & MDU: Use jacket colors to segment cabling by floor, suite, or service type for easier long-term management.
- Light Industrial & Warehouse: Shield against electrical noise from motors, variable frequency drives, and overhead lighting without jumping to CAT6A.
- Retrofit & Upgrade Projects: Replace aging UTP CAT6 in existing riser pathways where noise complaints or test failures point to a shielding gap.
WHY CHOOSE THE 062 SERIES F/UTP CABLE?
Professionals choose the 062 Series when they need a shielded CAT6 riser cable that’s verified, color-coded, and priced for real-world project budgets. Here are five reasons it belongs in your next bid:
- Shielded Without the CAT6A Premium – F/UTP construction delivers meaningful EMI protection at CAT6 bandwidth and cost — the right tool when 10GBase-T isn’t the target application.
- PoE Type 3 Verified – Supports IEEE 802.3bt at up to 60W, covering the majority of installed PoE devices without oversizing the cable spec.
- ETL Listed, Jacket-Marked – The c(ETL)us certification is printed directly on the jacket with the full compliance string, so inspectors and AHJs see exactly what they need.
- Nine Colors, One SKU Logic – Color-code your infrastructure at installation. Nine vivid jacket options make zoning, troubleshooting, and documentation straightforward from day one.
- Published Performance Data to 550 MHz – Full transmission data is available across 15 frequency points. Bring the spec sheet to your next submittal with confidence.
WHAT’S NEXT?
Once you’ve pulled the 062 Series:
- Terminate with Matching VC Plugs – Use 012-021-100 or 012-026/EZF-100 field-termination plugs for clean, compatible shielded RJ45 connections.
- Test Your Permanent Link – Validate with a Fluke DSX or equivalent to confirm CAT6 channel performance to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D across the full horizontal run.
- Bond the Shield – Terminate the drain wire and verify shield continuity at both ends. A floating shield provides no EMI benefit.
- Document by Color – Map jacket colors to zones in your as-built drawings from day one, your future self (and the next installer) will appreciate it.
