Ubiquiti UniFi Category 6 CMP Ethernet Cable (U-Cable-C6-CMP)

The Ubiquiti UniFi Category 6 CMP Ethernet Cable (U-Cable-C6-CMP) is a premium-grade, plenum-rated Ethernet cable engineered to support high-speed data transmission and ensure fire safety in modern structured network installations. Designed for enterprise environments and advanced IT infrastructures, this cable is built to deliver consistent, interference-free 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps performance, making it ideal for high-density UniFi deployments that demand bandwidth reliability and safety compliance.

Category 6 (Cat6) cables are widely adopted for their ability to handle Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBASE-T over shorter distances, and the U-Cable-C6-CMP offers a carefully optimized construction that minimizes crosstalk and signal degradation. This makes it suitable for applications ranging from desktop connectivity and VoIP phones to wireless access point backhauls, surveillance cameras, and other performance-sensitive network components.

One of the key features of this cable is its CMP (Communications Multipurpose Plenum) rating, which means it is certified for installation in plenum air spaces such as ceiling voids or HVAC return-air pathways. The CMP-rated jacket is made from flame-retardant materials that meet the most stringent fire safety codes, ensuring that the cable will resist flame propagation and emit low smoke and toxic gases in the event of a fire. This is especially important in commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and anywhere network cabling runs through shared air circulation systems.

Internally, the U-Cable-C6-CMP features four unshielded twisted pairs (UTP) of high-quality copper conductors, carefully wound to reduce near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and maintain signal integrity. The cable is engineered to operate at a bandwidth of 250 MHz, ensuring smooth data transmission in environments with high network traffic. Its internal construction is optimized for EMI resistance, making it suitable even in electrically noisy environments.

Supplied in a 305-meter (1,000-foot) pull box, the cable offers installers a tangle-free, organized way to manage cable runs across large installations. It terminates easily with standard RJ45 connectors and works seamlessly with Ubiquiti UniFi patch panels and keystone jacks, streamlining integration with existing network infrastructure.

Whether you're installing a new data backbone, upgrading a network floor, or extending connectivity in an enterprise facility, the U-Cable-C6-CMP offers the perfect blend of safety, performance, and flexibility. It meets the demands of modern networks while exceeding safety regulations for plenum cabling installations.

As part of the broader UniFi ecosystem, this cable reflects Ubiquiti’s commitment to delivering reliable, professional-grade networking hardware that’s ready to scale as your infrastructure evolves.
