Belden Inc. 2412 008A1000 CAT6 Riser Cable 4-pair

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 2412 008A1000 is a CAT6 riser-rated network cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. This 4-pair unshielded twisted-pair (U/UTP) cable carries a CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating, making it suitable for vertical runs between floors in non-plenum spaces. It is intended for data network infrastructure supporting Ethernet applications. Licensed low-voltage electricians and data cabling technicians are the primary installers for this cable in backbone and horizontal distribution runs.

This cable is used in riser pathway installations where vertical fire spread protection is required but plenum-rated cable is not mandated. Typical applications include in-wall and in-conduit runs between telecommunications rooms and work areas in office buildings, schools, and similar facilities. The U/UTP construction suits environments with moderate electromagnetic interference. It is sold as a single unit (EA) per the supplier specification.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance rating supporting Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transmission
• 4-pair U/UTP construction with no overall shield for straightforward termination
• CMR riser rating for compliant vertical cable runs between floors
• Ribbed jacket design aids in pair identification and cable handling during pulls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style riser cable for structured CAT6 cabling systems in commercial and residential low-voltage network installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or data cabling technician in accordance with applicable NEC Article 800 requirements for riser-rated communications cable. De-energize any adjacent circuits and follow building fire-stop procedures when passing cable through floor penetrations. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable minimum bend radius and do not exceed the cable maximum pulling tension during installation. Terminate using CAT6-rated keystone jacks, patch panels, and tooling to maintain category performance.
