What is the Difference between CMP and CMR Cables? Summary We use the word CMP and CMR a lot in the world of Ethernet networking cables but do you know what that really means? We are here to help you ease your thinking process because we will explain all the headache terminologies!
Body We use the word CMP and CMR a lot in the world of Ethernet networking cables but do you know what that really means; and more importantly, can you pick the best one out of the two for your project? No need to worry, we are here to help you ease your thinking process without getting a headache with all the networking terms that are used elsewhere; because we will explain them! CMP stands for “Communications Multi-purpose cable, Plenum” which is a plenum-rated cable, whereas CMR stands for “Communications Multi-purpose cable, Riser” which is a riser-rated cable. As stated, the first of the two networking cables is plenum-rated, meaning it is made for the vertical setting in the area, whereas, the latter for the two networking cables is riser-rated, meaning it is made for the horizontal setting in the area. CAT6 plenum is one of the best plenum rated cables in the market with one of the newest Category 6 cables and the plenum rated fire-proof feature not only delivers the highest gigs you’ve been waiting for, but also for an unbelievable distance of 55 meters of horizontal goodness! Category 6 CMP presents to you an amazing frequency of 250 MHz, with 10 gigs of speed and data that can travel for a huge distance of 55 meters, and it is fire-proof and smoke-free, toxicfree as well! Although Category 6 presents you with amazing cables but it might be a bit expensive for your pockets, so if you’re looking to go with a bit cheaper version and don’t really need a very high speed for your project, a CMR or Riser cable would be a great addition. In fact, CAT5e CMR UL or if you want to cut more and don’t want to go for a verified cable from Underwriters Laboratory (certifying that it is a 100% copper networking cable), you can go for a simple Category 5e Riser which would give you a high edge in your project with an incredible frequency of 100 MHz and 1 gigs of awesome speed goodness that you won’t want to resist.
