Belden Inc. 2412 006U1000 Cat6 Plus U/utp Cmr Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 2412 006U1000 is a Cat6+ (Category 6 Plus) 4-pair unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) ethernet cable rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) and supplied in a 1000-foot pull box in light blue jacket. It is designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings where a riser fire rating is required. The CMR rating allows vertical routing between floors through riser shafts in compliance with applicable building and fire codes. Network installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary trades that work with this cable.

This cable is suited for horizontal and riser runs in commercial office environments, school buildings, healthcare facilities, and multi-family residential construction. It supports high-speed data networking applications at Category 6 performance levels, making it appropriate for Gigabit Ethernet and similar structured cabling systems. The 1000-foot box format is standard for commercial pull installations, reducing handling time on larger jobs.

Key Features

• Cat6+ performance rating supporting Gigabit Ethernet structured cabling
• 4-pair U/UTP construction with no overall shield for straightforward termination
• CMR (Riser) fire rating allows installation in vertical shaft runs between floors
• Light blue jacket for easy identification and color-coded cable management
• 1000-foot pull box format suited for commercial installation runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style riser-rated Cat6 structured cabling solution compatible with standard RJ-45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular connectors meeting Category 6 termination specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or network cabling installer familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize any adjacent circuits before pulling cable through conduit or plenum spaces, and observe all local fire and building codes governing CMR-rated cable routing. Avoid sharp bend radii and excessive pulling tension, as either can degrade signal performance in twisted-pair cable. CMR-rated cable must not be substituted for CMP (plenum) cable in air-handling spaces.
