Description
The BELDEN INC. C602100018A06 is a pre-terminated CAT6 patch cable assembly finished in black. This 18-inch cable comes factory-terminated and ready to deploy, eliminating field termination time on structured cabling installations. Designed for CAT6 and CAT6E network infrastructure, it supports high-speed data transmission in commercial and residential low-voltage cabling systems. Network technicians and low-voltage contractors install this assembly in patch panels, switches, and server racks where consistent, tested terminations are required and job-site termination quality must be controlled.
This assembly is suited for structured cabling installations in commercial buildings, data centers, server rooms, and telecommunications closets. The 18-inch length is a common choice for short patch runs between co-located equipment, such as patch panel to switch connections within a single rack or adjacent racks. It ships as a single unit, making it easy to order in exact quantities for a given installation.
Key Features
- Factory pre-terminated ends eliminate field termination and reduce installation variability
- CAT6 and CAT6E rated for high-speed data network applications
- 18-inch length designed for short, rack-level patch runs
- Black jacket for standard color-coding or general-use identification
- Sold individually for precise quantity ordering
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cable for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 patch panels, switches, and network equipment.
Installation Notes
Low-voltage network technicians and structured cabling contractors typically install CAT6 patch assemblies. No special tools are required beyond standard patch panel and switch management practices. Follow TIA-568 cabling standards for proper cable management and bend radius. Avoid sharp bends or pinching the jacket, as this can degrade signal performance.
