Quick guidance

Choose the 060-488/BL when you need standard unshielded CAT6 cable for indoor structured wiring and the installation calls for a CMR riser rating. This model is not CMP plenum rated, so use a suitable plenum-rated CAT6 cable when the cable will run through environmental air-handling spaces.
