Belden Inc. 2412 0061000 Cat6 Plus Cmr Ethernet Cable Reel

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 2412 0061000 is a Category 6 Plus (Cat6+) unshielded twisted-pair (U/UTP) data cable rated for riser (CMR) applications. It ships on a reel in light blue and contains four twisted pairs in a standard configuration suited for structured cabling installations. The CMR rating means the jacket meets flame-spread requirements for vertical runs inside building risers and open-air plenum alternatives where CMR is the minimum code-required rating. This cable is installed by licensed low-voltage technicians, data network contractors, and electricians performing structured cabling work.

This cable is used in commercial and residential network infrastructure installations where Cat6 or Cat6 Plus performance is required. Typical applications include horizontal and riser runs connecting patch panels, network switches, IP cameras, VoIP endpoints, and access control hardware. The light blue jacket color is commonly used to identify standard data drops within color-coded cabling systems. Reel packaging supports longer continuous runs and reduces splicing in larger installations.

Key Features

• Cat6 Plus performance rating for high-speed Ethernet and PoE applications
• 4-pair U/UTP construction with no overall shield, simplifying termination
• CMR (riser) jacket rating meets NEC Article 800 requirements for vertical cable runs
• Reel packaging supports extended continuous runs without mid-run splices
• Light blue jacket supports color-coded structured cabling identification standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution compatible with standard 8P8C (RJ45) keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs rated for Cat6 or higher performance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. Pull tension and bend radius limits for the cable should be observed during routing to avoid pair damage or performance degradation. Terminate using Cat6-rated punch-down blocks, keystone jacks, or modular plugs with the appropriate termination tool. Do not staple through the cable jacket or cinch cable ties tightly enough to deform the cable geometry.
