Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1106014 is a CAT6 patch cable rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) for use in structured cabling installations where riser-rated wiring is required by code. This cable is finished in blue jacket for easy identification and measures 14 feet in length. It is designed to support 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance consistent with the B10GXF series designation, making it suitable for high-bandwidth network runs between patch panels, switches, and network equipment. Installation is handled by licensed low-voltage technicians and IT cabling contractors.

This patch cable is used in commercial and residential structured cabling systems where riser-rated horizontal or cross-connect runs are required. The 14-foot length suits rack-to-rack patching, equipment room cross-connects, and short horizontal runs in telecommunications rooms. The blue jacket color aids in visual cable management and circuit identification. CMR-rated cables are appropriate for routing through vertical shafts and between floors in accordance with NEC Article 800 riser requirements.

Key Features

CMR riser rating meets NEC Article 800 requirements for vertical cable runs
CAT6 performance supports Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
14-foot length suitable for patch panel and equipment room cross-connects
Blue jacket for visual circuit identification and cable management
Factory-terminated for consistent, tested connectivity out of the box

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style CAT6 patch cable for use with standard RJ45 patch panels, network switches, and structured cabling systems that accept CAT6 or CAT6E-rated connections.

Installation Notes

This cable is typically installed by licensed low-voltage technicians or data cabling contractors. Ensure all patch panel and switch ports are powered down or properly managed before making connections in live network environments. Route riser-rated cables only through approved vertical pathways in compliance with local building and NEC Article 800 requirements. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing to maintain signal integrity.
