Belden Inc. C501106003 Cat5e Cmr Patch Cord 3 Ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C501106003 is a Cat5e CMR-rated patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. The CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating qualifies this cable for use in riser pathways between floors, where building codes require fire-retardant cable jacket materials. At 3 feet in length and finished in blue, it is suited for short-run connections in patch panels, network switches, and equipment racks. Licensed network and low-voltage cabling technicians are the typical installers for this product in both new construction and retrofit cabling projects.

This patch cord is used in structured data cabling systems that require Cat5e performance for Ethernet and other network applications. The 3-foot length is a standard choice for rack-mounted equipment connections, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and wall-outlet-to-device runs. The blue jacket color aids in visual cable management and port identification in dense patch panel environments. It ships as a single unit and is categorized under Cat5 and Cat5e patch cables.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or network cabling technicians. Always power down or disconnect active network equipment before handling patch cord connections in live racks. Follow local building codes and TIA-568 cabling standards for structured cabling installations. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could degrade cable performance.
