Belden Inc. C601100055 Cat6 Plus Cmr Patch Cord 55ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601100055 is a Cat6 Plus CMR-rated patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and light industrial environments. CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating means this cable meets fire-resistance requirements for vertical runs between floors, making it suitable for in-wall and riser pathways where building codes require riser-rated cabling. At 55 feet, it covers longer horizontal runs within a network closet, open office floor, or between equipment racks. It is installed by licensed low-voltage technicians, network technicians, and electricians performing data infrastructure work.

This patch cord is intended for structured Cat6 and Cat6-plus network cabling applications in residential and commercial settings. Typical use cases include connecting patch panels to switches, linking network equipment across longer rack or room distances, and permanent or semi-permanent horizontal cable runs inside walls or vertical riser shafts where a riser-rated jacket is required by code. The 55-foot length suits runs that standard shorter patch cords cannot reach.

Key Features

• CMR riser-rated jacket meets fire-resistance requirements for in-wall and between-floor cable runs
• Cat6 Plus performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth network applications
• Black jacket for easy identification and cable management in mixed-cable environments
• 55-foot length accommodates longer horizontal and riser runs without splicing
• Sold individually (each) for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for Cat6 and Cat6-plus structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 termination ports and patch panels.

Installation Notes

This cable should be installed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local building codes. When routing through riser pathways or wall cavities, verify that the CMR rating satisfies the jurisdiction's fire code requirements before installation. Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or exceeding the cable's minimum bend radius during routing, as this can degrade signal performance. Power down or disconnect active network equipment before replacing or repositioning patch cords at live patch panels or switches.
