Belden Inc. 1583A 0101000 CAT6 Riser Cable Cmr Black Reel

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 1583A 0101000 is a CAT6 riser-rated (CMR) ethernet cable supplied on a reel in black. Designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings, this cable carries high-speed data signals through vertical runs between floors — the application that CMR ratings are specifically required for under NEC Article 800. CAT6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and beyond, making it a standard choice for network infrastructure pulls where compliance with building codes is required. It is sold as a single reel unit.

This cable is suited for in-wall and riser pathway installations in office buildings, schools, data centers, and multi-unit residential projects. The CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating qualifies it for use in vertical shaft runs and between floors where low-flame-spread characteristics are required by code. Electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians performing structured wiring rough-ins or pull-through installations are the primary installers.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transmission
• CMR (riser) flame rating meets NEC Article 800 requirements for vertical building runs
• Black jacket color for installation identification or preference
• Supplied on a reel for continuous pulls and large-run installations
• Sold as a single unit (EA) for straightforward ordering

Compatibility

Designed as a CMR-rated CAT6 riser cable for use with standard RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and structured cabling components that terminate CAT6 conductors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and local building codes. De-energize any adjacent circuits and follow building management procedures before pulling cable through occupied riser shafts or conduit. Maintain minimum bend radius during installation to preserve CAT6 performance characteristics, and avoid running parallel to high-voltage conductors without proper separation as required by code.
