| <h2>Overview</h2> <p>The <strong>POEJC6E-CMP</strong> is GRID’s flagship <strong>Cat6e enhanced bulk Ethernet cable</strong>, purpose-built for high-power PoE and PoE++ (including 90W-class devices) in DC microgrid deployments. This universal cable features <strong>23 AWG solid copper conductors</strong>, a CMP plenum jacket and a translucent sheath, making it the preferred permanent-link medium for feeding Active POE-Jack® in-wall switches and dense edge device clusters.</p> <p>Where commodity 24/26 AWG cabling struggles with voltage drop and heat, this 23 AWG construction is tuned for <strong>high-current PoE bundles</strong>. It supports the GRID philosophy of reducing copper counts while still delivering full power to the convergent edge, and it is specified as “UNIVERSAL” to cover indoor/outdoor, low- and high-temperature scenarios in one cable family.</p> <p>If you’re looking for a <strong>plenum-rated 23 AWG cable for PoE++ in Canadian buildings</strong>, POEJC6E-CMP is the core workhorse of the cabling system.</p> <h2>Key features</h2> <ul> <li><strong>23 AWG solid copper</strong> – thicker conductors reduce DC resistance and heat rise in PoE++ bundles, preserving voltage at the POE-Jack® under load.</li> <li><strong>Enhanced Cat6 (“Cat6e”) performance</strong> – engineered as an enhanced Cat6 cable suitable for Gigabit Ethernet in typical enterprise channels.</li> <li><strong>Universal CMP design</strong> – listed as <strong>Cat6E UNIVERSAL Cable – CMP/LS/Indoor/Outdoor/LowTemp/HighTemp/Red List Free/ROHS</strong> to cover diverse projects with a single part number.</li> <li><strong>CMP plenum rating</strong> – compliant jacket suitable for environmental air spaces as defined by NFPA 262.</li> <li><strong>Translucent outer jacket</strong> – exposes conductor colours for easier identification and works well with LED tracing jacks and field terminations.</li> <li><strong>Made in the USA</strong> – supports projects with domestic origin requirements and quality benchmarks.</li> <li><strong>Optimized electrical characteristics</strong> – low DC resistance, controlled capacitance and defined impedance for stable PoE and data performance.</li> </ul> <h2>Technical highlights</h2> <table> <thead> <tr> <td><strong>Parameter</strong></td> <td><strong>Value</strong></td> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Cable type</td> <td>POE-Jack® Cat6e enhanced UTP bulk cable</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Conductor</td> <td>23 AWG solid copper</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Rating</td> <td>CMP plenum (NFPA 262), universal LS/Indoor/Outdoor</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Operating temperature</td> <td>-20°C to +75°C (-4°F to 167°F)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Storage temperature</td> <td>-20°C to +75°C (-4°F to 167°F)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Operating voltage</td> <td>300V RMS</td> </tr> <tr> <td>DC resistance</td> <td>8.3 Ω / 100 m (typical)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mutual capacitance</td> <td>Approx. 4.63 nF / 100 m</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Resistance unbalance</td> <td>0.5% (typical)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Capacitance unbalance</td> <td>Approx. 19.5 pF / 100 m</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Input impedance</td> <td>100 Ω ± 15 Ω (100 MHz)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Nominal velocity of propagation</td> <td>Approx. 73.8%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Max pull tension</td> <td>25 lbs (recommended)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Minimum bend radius</td> <td>0.75" (installed)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Length & packaging</td> <td>1000 ft (304.8 m), reel-in-box</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Colour</td> <td>Translucent jacket exposing conductor colours</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Country of origin</td> <td>Made in the USA</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h2>Ideal applications</h2> <ul> <li>Permanent-link cabling from PoE switches (POEJK-S48 series) to <strong>Active POE-Jack®</strong> in-wall switches.</li> <li>High-density PoE++ runs powering clusters of workstations, APs, phones and IoT devices from a single POE-Jack® node.</li> <li>PoE lighting, room control and sensor networks where thermal performance in cable bundles is critical.</li> <li>Commercial, healthcare, education and hospitality projects targeting LEED-aligned low-voltage infrastructure.</li> <li>Canadian retrofit projects where a single universal cable that can handle indoor/outdoor and temperature extremes simplifies inventory.</li> </ul> <h2>Compatibility & ecosystem</h2> <p>POEJC6E-CMP is the recommended permanent-link medium for <strong>Active POE-Jack®</strong> deployments powered by GRID PoE switches such as the POEJK-S48-3600, POEJK-S48-740 and POEJK-S48-750E. Its 23 AWG conductors minimize voltage drop to remote POE-Jack® nodes, helping ensure full PoE/PoE++ delivery across long runs and large bundles.</p> <p>At the rack, pair this cable with GRID slim Cat6A or Cat6e patch cords for high-density patching and clean cable management. In the field, the translucent jacket works nicely with LED tracing jacks and test tools for faster identification and troubleshooting.</p> <h2>Install & design notes</h2> <p>Because PoE++ can drive significant current, cable gauge and bundling have a direct impact on safety and performance. The 23 AWG conductors and documented electrical characteristics of POEJC6E-CMP are chosen to mitigate heat rise and voltage drop in accordance with published powering-over-LAN best practices. Installers should respect recommended bend radius, pull tension and channel distances.</p> <p>In Canada, this single “universal” cable type can simplify stocking and design for projects that mix indoor and protected outdoor runs, low-temperature garages and high-temperature ceiling plenums. Always follow local electrical and building codes when running low-voltage cabling outdoors or in environmental air spaces.</p> <h2>Canada-ready checklist</h2> <ul> <li>✓ Universal Cat6e CMP/LS design suitable for a wide range of Canadian environments (indoor, protected outdoor, low/high temperature within rating).</li> <li>✓ <strong>Plenum-rated</strong> for use in environmental air spaces commonly found in Canadian commercial buildings.</li> <li>✓ 23 AWG copper conductors well suited to PoE++ loads and long runs to detached garages, barns or outbuildings when used within distance limits.</li> <li>✓ Wide operating temperature range (-20°C to +75°C) appropriate for unconditioned areas like parking garages and ceiling spaces.</li> <li>✓ Translucent jacket helps with identification and troubleshooting in crowded Canadian telecom rooms and ceiling spaces.</li> </ul> <h2>Compatibility micro Q&A</h2> <p><strong>Q: Is Cat6e a formal standard?</strong><br> “Cat6e” is an industry term for enhanced Cat6. POEJC6E-CMP is engineered to meet enhanced performance targets and to serve as a robust Gigabit PoE/PoE++ medium; always refer to the latest spec sheet for detailed test parameters.</p> <p><strong>Q: Can I use this outdoors?</strong><br> The “universal” designation (CMP/LS/Indoor/Outdoor/LowTemp/HighTemp) means it is designed for a wide range of environments. Outdoor use should still follow best practices for protection, UV exposure and local code requirements.</p> <p><strong>Q: Do I still need Cat6A cable if I use this?</strong><br> Typically, yes. Many designs pair POEJC6E-CMP for PoE-heavy permanent links with Cat6A CMP (POEJC6A-CMP) for 10G backbone/uplink segments, balancing performance, cost and thermal behaviour.</p> <p><em>Specifications and features are subject to change without notice.
