Belden Inc. C601100017A08 8-position CAT6 Cmr Harness

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601100017A08 is an 8-position wiring harness built to CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) ratings and designed for structured cabling installations. The harness ships in black and measures 17 inches in length, making it suited for short-run terminations inside enclosures, patch panels, and rack-mounted equipment. CMR-rated cabling meets riser fire-resistance requirements, making this harness appropriate for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings. Network installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary users of this component.

This harness is used in CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems where a pre-configured, 8-position assembly is needed to reduce field termination time. Typical applications include patch panel wiring, keystone jack bundling, and consolidation point connections inside telecommunications rooms or equipment closets. The compact 17-inch length keeps bundle management clean in tight enclosures and reduces slack in short-hop runs.

Key Features

• CMR riser-rated construction meets fire-resistance requirements for vertical cable runs
• 8-position configuration supports full structured cabling channel terminations
• 17-inch length optimized for intra-enclosure and short-run patch panel work
• Black jacket for standard color-coding and bundle identification
• CAT6 and CAT6E category rating supports high-speed data network installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and field-use component for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems in riser-rated installations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and structured cabling installers should follow TIA-568 standards and local building codes when routing and terminating CMR-rated cabling. De-energize any active network equipment before connecting or disconnecting harness assemblies. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable to prevent signal degradation. Verify riser-rating requirements with the authority having jurisdiction before installation in multi-floor vertical runs.
