The Genesis 50921101 is a 23 AWG, 4-pair solid Category 6 Plus riser-rated network cable from Southwire’s Genesis® line. It is U/UTP with a central pair-separator spline for crosstalk reduction. As a result, it supports Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet runs in commercial buildings. The cable ships in white, 1000 feet per pull-out box.
Genesis 50921101 Specifications
Construction features 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors. In addition, polypropylene or polyethylene insulation surrounds each pair. Furthermore, an internal pair-separator spline keeps the four pairs in fixed geometry. The PVC jacket is sunlight-resistant. The cable is rated 300 volts with an operating range of -20°C to 75°C. Nominal weight is 24 lbs per 1000 feet.
Why “Cat 6 Plus”?
First, the “Plus” designation indicates Category 6 performance with margin to spare. Then, it supports 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet at the full 100-meter run length. In addition, it also runs 10GBASE-T at reduced distance per TIA-568. As a result, the cable future-proofs network installations against bandwidth growth.
Listings and Standards
This Cat 6 riser cable meets multiple recognized standards:
- UL 1666 — Riser-rated
- UL 444 — Communication Cables, Type CMR
- TIA-568.2-D — Category 6 performance verified
- CSA C22.2 No. 2556 — FT4 rated
- Sunlight resistant; REACH/RoHS compliant
Installation Applications
First, the CMR rating allows vertical riser runs between floors. Then, the cable installs in metal raceways per NEC 300.22(B). However, this cable is NOT plenum-rated. Therefore, do not install it in air handling spaces. In addition, it is a network communications cable, not a fire alarm cable.
