Description
The BELDEN INC. CAF1106005 is a CAT6 patch cord rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) and finished in blue for easy identification. Patch cords in this category carry structured cabling signals between network equipment, patch panels, and wall ports in commercial and residential low-voltage installations. The CMR rating means the jacket meets UL riser-flame requirements, making it suitable for use in vertical runs between floors where local codes require riser-rated cable. At 5 feet in length, this cord suits short equipment-bay or rack-to-panel connections.
This patch cord is suited for CAT6 and CAT6E horizontal structured cabling systems in commercial offices, data centers, schools, and similar facilities. It is sized for in-rack or patch-panel-to-switch connections where a short, organized run is needed. The blue jacket color supports color-coded port management practices commonly used by network technicians and low-voltage contractors.
Key Features
- CMR-rated jacket meets UL riser-flame requirements for vertical pathway installations
- CAT6 performance supports Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
- 5-foot length sized for in-rack and patch-panel connections
- Blue jacket enables color-coded port identification and cable management
- Sold individually (each) for flexible quantity ordering
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 patch panel ports and network equipment interfaces.
Installation Notes
Low-voltage contractors and network technicians typically install patch cords as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 standards. De-energize or power down connected equipment before swapping patch cords in live panels when possible to avoid link disruption. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable jacket, and do not over-dress cable ties tightly enough to deform the jacket. CMR-rated cables must be installed in riser pathways in accordance with local building and fire codes.
