Belden Inc. 2412 006A1000 Cat6 Plus Riser Cable 1000ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 2412 006A1000 is a Category 6 Plus unshielded twisted-pair (U/UTP) riser-rated network cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. This 4-pair cable carries a CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating, making it suitable for vertical runs between floors where flame spread must be restricted. The ribbed jacket aids in pair separation, which supports consistent signal performance at Cat6 Plus specifications. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable for horizontal and vertical backbone runs in data networks.

This cable is intended for in-building structured cabling applications requiring CMR-rated media. Typical installations include data closet-to-workstation horizontal runs and inter-floor riser pathways in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and similar commercial environments. It is sold in a 1000-foot pull box configuration, which is the standard unit for conduit pulls and overhead tray installations. Low-voltage and voice-data-video (VDV) technicians are the primary installers of this product.

Key Features

• Cat6 Plus performance rating supports Gigabit and higher-speed Ethernet applications
• 4-pair U/UTP construction with no overall shield for straightforward termination
• CMR riser flame rating meets NEC Article 800 requirements for vertical cable runs
• Ribbed jacket design assists with pair identification and physical pair separation during termination
• 1000-foot continuous length reduces splice points in long runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution compatible with standard Cat6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ-45 connectors that accept 23 AWG or 24 AWG unshielded twisted-pair cable terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. De-energize any adjacent powered conductors and verify the riser pathway is clear before pulling cable. Avoid exceeding the cable's minimum bend radius and maximum pulling tension during conduit or tray installation to prevent degradation of pair geometry and signal performance. Terminate both ends using Cat6-rated punch-down tools or crimp tooling rated for the connector type being used.
