Protect your vertical networking runs from electromagnetic interference while maintaining peak Gigabit speeds with our premium CAT6 Shielded Riser-Rated Ethernet Cable. This high-performance F/UTP Cat6 riser cable features heavy-duty 23 AWG solid copper conductors, full-foil shielding with a tinned-copper drain wire, and a flame-retardant CMR PVC jacket, ensuring reliable 600MHz data transmission through walls, riser shafts, and cable trays. UL-listed for safety and compliance, it's ideal for multi-story buildings demanding noise immunity and code-compliant vertical installations.

Designed for the most demanding vertical installations, this rare combination of CMR fire rating and foil shielding provides both building code compliance and EMI/RFI protection. The heavy-duty 23AWG conductors deliver lower resistance than standard 24AWG for extended PoE reach and superior signal quality over long vertical runs. Perfect for hospitals, manufacturing facilities, and buildings with electrical interference, it combines fire-safe CMR rating with full foil shielding to ensure clean, reliable data transmission in the most challenging multi-story environments.
