Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1100012 is a B10GXF-series CAT6 patch cord rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) and finished in black. This cable is designed for structured cabling installations where riser-rated wiring is required between floors or in vertical runs inside a building. It provides reliable high-speed data transmission in Ethernet and network switching applications. Licensed low-voltage cabling contractors and network infrastructure technicians are the primary installers. The CMR rating makes it suitable for in-wall and between-floor runs where plenum-grade cable is not required by code.

This patch cord is used in commercial and residential network infrastructure installations, including data centers, server closets, telecommunications rooms, and office environments. It is suited for horizontal and vertical cable runs between patch panels, switches, routers, and network-attached equipment. The CAT6 rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and higher-speed data applications common in modern structured cabling systems. It is sold individually as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling contractor or qualified network technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or disconnect active network equipment at the port before inserting or removing patch cords to avoid data interruption. Do not exceed the cable’s minimum bend radius during routing, and avoid sharp bends, kinks, or pinching that can degrade signal integrity. Riser-rated cable must be installed in accordance with local building codes and NEC Article 800 requirements for communications wiring.
