Belden Inc. 2412F 0061000 Cat6 Riser Cable F/utp Cmr

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 2412F 0061000 is a Category 6 riser-rated network cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. This 4-pair foiled unshielded twisted pair (F/UTP) cable carries a CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating, making it suitable for vertical runs between floors in accordance with applicable fire and building codes. The blue jacket aids in cable identification during installation and termination. It is sold as a single reel and is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage or data cabling contractors.

This cable is used in horizontal and vertical structured cabling runs that require Cat6 performance in riser environments. Typical applications include in-wall backbone runs, inter-floor data distribution, and patch panel home-runs in commercial office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and multi-story residential construction. The F/UTP construction provides foil shielding around all four pairs to reduce alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in dense cable pathways.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBASE-T applications at standard Cat6 distances
• F/UTP construction with overall foil shield reduces EMI and crosstalk in bundled riser runs
• CMR riser rating meets fire propagation requirements for vertical building runs
• 4-pair configuration follows standard T568A/T568B termination practice
• Blue jacket color supports color-coded cabling infrastructure management
• Sold on reel for bulk installation pulls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style riser cable for use with standard Cat6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs in structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician following TIA-568 and applicable local building codes. De-energize any adjacent power circuits before pulling cable through shared pathways, and maintain minimum bend radius per manufacturer guidelines to preserve pair geometry and signal performance. CMR-rated cable is approved for riser runs but is not a substitute for CMP-rated plenum cable in air-handling spaces. Terminate both ends using Cat6-rated punchdown or modular termination tools to maintain pair twist as close to the termination point as possible.
