Belden Inc. 2412 003A1000 Cat6 Plus Riser Cable Cmr

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 2412 003A1000 is a Cat6 Plus riser-rated unshielded twisted pair (UTP) data cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. Offered in a 1000-foot pull box, this four-pair cable carries a CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating, making it code-compliant for installation in vertical runs between floors without the need for conduit in most riser spaces. It is pulled by low-voltage electricians and data cabling technicians as part of permanent horizontal or vertical network infrastructure supporting Gigabit Ethernet and similar high-speed data applications.

This cable is suited for in-wall and in-ceiling runs in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and multi-unit residential construction. The orange jacket aids in cable plant identification and is commonly specified for data or voice drops terminating at patch panels and keystone jacks. A 1000-foot reel length is standard for new construction pulls and large retrofit jobs where minimizing splice points is a priority.

Key Features

• CMR riser rating meets NEC Article 800 requirements for vertical shaft and riser installations
• Cat6 Plus performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth structured cabling systems
• Four-pair UTP construction for standard 8P8C (RJ45) termination at both ends
• Orange jacket for easy identification within multi-cable infrastructure
• 1000-foot continuous length minimizes field splices on large pulls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style riser cable for use in Cat6-rated structured cabling systems terminated with standard Cat6 patch panels, keystone jacks, and 8P8C modular connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and local NEC requirements. De-energize any adjacent electrical circuits before pulling cable through shared pathways. Avoid sharp bends below the cable minimum bend radius and do not exceed the rated pulling tension to prevent pair distortion that degrades channel performance. CMR-rated cable is approved for riser use but is not a substitute for CMP-rated plenum cable where plenum air-handling spaces are present.
