Belden Inc. 2412FS 0061000 CAT6 F/utp Cmr Riser Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 2412FS 0061000 is a CAT6 Plus foil-shielded unshielded twisted pair (F/UTP) data cable rated for CMR (Communications Riser) applications. Built with four twisted pairs and finished in a light blue jacket, it is designed for structured wiring installations where vertical runs between floors require a riser-rated cable. The F/UTP construction pairs an overall foil shield with individually twisted pairs to control crosstalk and improve noise rejection over standard CAT6. Network technicians and low-voltage contractors install this cable in commercial and residential structured cabling systems where performance and fire-code compliance both matter.

This cable is suited for horizontal and riser backbone runs in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and multi-dwelling units. The CMR rating qualifies it for installation in vertical shafts and between floors where a plenum rating is not required. Its light blue jacket color supports color-coded infrastructure standards and makes port identification straightforward at patch panels and wall jacks.

Key Features

• CAT6 Plus performance standard with F/UTP foil shield for enhanced noise rejection
• CMR (Communications Riser) fire rating for vertical floor-to-floor cable runs
• 4-pair twisted pair construction supporting Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications
• Light blue jacket for color-coded infrastructure identification
• Reel packaging for clean, controlled pulls on larger installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style riser-rated structured cabling solution compatible with standard CAT6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular connectors that accept F/UTP terminated cable.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage network technicians and structured cabling installers handle this cable under ANSI/TIA-568 standards and local building codes. De-energize any adjacent electrical runs before pulling cable through conduit or building cavities. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid stapling or over-cinching tie wraps, as deformation of the pairs degrades CAT6 performance. CMR-rated cable must not be substituted in air-handling plenum spaces where CMP-rated cable is required by code.
