Belden Inc. 2412 009A1000 Cat6 U/utp Cmr Riser Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 2412 009A1000 is a Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) data cable rated for riser (CMR) installations. It features four twisted pairs and is finished in white. Designed to support structured cabling systems in commercial and residential buildings, this cable meets the electrical performance requirements of Cat6 for high-speed data transmission up to 250 MHz. The CMR rating allows vertical runs between floors through riser pathways, making it a standard choice for network infrastructure projects. Low-voltage electricians and data/communications cabling technicians are the primary installers.

This cable is suited for in-wall and between-floor data runs in commercial office builds, multi-unit residential projects, and institutional structured cabling systems. The ribbed jacket construction aids in pair identification and pulling through conduit or open plenum pathways. It is commonly used to terminate at keystone jacks, patch panels, and other Cat6-rated termination hardware. Applications include Ethernet network drops, VoIP infrastructure, and PoE device wiring where riser-rated cable is required by code.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance supporting data rates up to 1 Gbps and beyond in typical network deployments
• U/UTP construction — four unshielded twisted pairs with no overall shield, reducing weight and simplifying termination
• CMR (riser) flame rating permits installation in vertical runs between floors per NEC Article 800
• Ribbed jacket aids pair identification and reduces tangling during pulls
• White jacket finish for clean, visible labeling in structured cabling environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution compatible with standard Cat6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and termination hardware meeting TIA-568 Cat6 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with NEC Article 800 communications wiring requirements. De-energize any adjacent circuits and verify riser pathway clearances before pulling cable. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable during pulls to maintain Cat6 performance ratings. Terminate using Cat6-rated punch-down tools and hardware to ensure the channel meets TIA-568 performance standards.
