Windy City Wire CAT6ASP-BLK 23 AWG Shielded Plenum Category 6A Cable, Black

Shielded Plenum CAT6A Cable for Crestron and Pro AV Control

Windy City Wire CAT6ASP-BLK is a shielded Category 6A plenum cable built for professional AV, lighting control, room automation, and commercial low-voltage installations. It is designed for Crestron-based control environments, networked AV endpoints, lighting control networks, and other building automation applications where stable data and control transport are required in plenum spaces.

This cable uses a 23 AWG, 4 twisted pair construction with solid bare copper conductors, FTP foil shielding, a 24 AWG solid tinned copper drain wire, FEP insulation, and a black FRPVC jacket. It is plenum rated as ETL Type CMP and is identified for standards including C(ETL), TIA/EIA, NFPA 70, and ISO 11801, making it appropriate for code-conscious commercial installations.

For system integrators, CAT6ASP-BLK provides a dependable shielded cable platform for lighting control, AV over IP infrastructure, control processors, touch panels, keypads, encoders, decoders, DSPs, displays, and other networked endpoints located in ceilings, equipment rooms, racks, and return-air plenum spaces.

The cable features a nominal jacket outside diameter of 0.273 inches, 100 ohm input impedance, and a maximum operating frequency of 500 MHz. Its shielded construction helps support clean signal performance in dense cable pathways and electrically noisy environments commonly found in professional AV and building control projects.
