Belden Inc. 2412 0101000 CAT6 Riser Ethernet Cable Reel

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 2412 0101000 is a Category 6 Plus unshielded twisted-pair (U/UTP) data cable rated for riser (CMR) installations. It features four twisted pairs and is designed for structured cabling runs inside commercial and residential buildings, particularly in vertical shaft and between-floor pathways where riser-rated materials are required by code. This reel format suits high-volume installation projects. The CMR rating satisfies the National Electrical Code requirements for riser applications, making it a code-compliant choice for network infrastructure installations performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians and electricians.

This cable is intended for horizontal and vertical structured cabling installations in commercial offices, multi-family residential buildings, educational facilities, and similar environments. It supports Ethernet network runs up to the standard 328-foot (100-meter) channel length. The reel packaging is suited for pulling long runs through conduit, cable trays, or open plenum pathways where CMR-rated jacket materials are specified by the authority having jurisdiction.

Key Features

• Category 6 Plus (CAT6+) performance rating for high-speed Ethernet cabling
• 4-pair U/UTP construction with no overall shield for straightforward termination
• CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) jacket rating meets NEC riser installation requirements
• Black jacket for easy identification in multi-cable pathways
• Reel format supports high-volume pulls on large structured cabling projects

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CAT6-class U/UTP riser cable compatible with RJ-45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and Ethernet network equipment meeting TIA-568 Category 6 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 800 riser cabling requirements. Verify that the CMR jacket rating is acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction before pulling cable in riser pathways. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius or applying excessive pull tension during installation, as either can degrade cable performance. Terminate all four pairs at both ends using Category 6 rated jacks or patch panels and test with a certified cable tester after installation.
