Belden Inc. C601100021A08 8-position CAT6 Cmr Harness

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601100021A08 is an 8-position wiring harness built to CAT6 performance standards with a CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) flame rating. It is designed for structured cabling installations where reliable signal transmission and code-compliant routing through building risers are required. At 21 inches in length, this harness suits tight equipment connections inside rack enclosures, patch panels, and distribution frames. Licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling installers are the primary trades that work with this type of assembly.

This harness is suited for commercial and residential structured cabling applications where CAT6-rated performance is specified. The CMR rating makes it appropriate for vertical riser pathways between floors, as defined by NEC Article 800. Typical install scenarios include rack-mounted patch panel terminations, horizontal cross-connect fields, and equipment room cabling within telecommunications closets.

Key Features

• 8-position connector configuration for multi-conductor structured cabling runs
• CAT6 performance rating supports high-speed data transmission applications
• CMR riser flame rating meets NEC Article 800 requirements for vertical installations
• Black jacket for standard identification in mixed-cable environments
• 21-inch length suits short equipment-to-panel connections inside enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style harness for use in CAT6 and CAT6E patch cable and structured cabling assemblies. Refer to system documentation to confirm connector and pinout compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or structured cabling technician familiar with ANSI/TIA-568 standards. De-energize all connected equipment before terminating or re-routing cable assemblies. Avoid sharp bend radii that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade CAT6 signal performance. Follow NEC Article 800 for proper riser-rated cable routing and firestopping requirements.
