Belden Inc. C601102009 Cat6 Plus Cmr Patch Cord Red

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601102009 is a Category 6 Plus (Cat6+) CMR-rated patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential environments. Built to CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) standards, this patch cord is suited for riser-rated vertical runs between floors, as well as standard horizontal patch panel and equipment connections. The red jacket provides quick visual identification by circuit or zone, a common practice in organized wiring closets and data rooms. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the typical installers of this type of patch cord.

This patch cord is used in Cat6 and Cat6+ structured cabling systems for connecting network equipment, patch panels, switches, and end-user devices. The CMR rating makes it appropriate for use in building riser pathways where non-plenum riser cables are permitted by local code. The red color coding is commonly used in facilities to designate specific VLANs, circuits, or access levels within a patch field. At 9 inches in length, this cord is well suited for short patch panel to switch connections in high-density rack environments.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for Cat6 and Cat6+ structured cabling systems using RJ45 connectivity in riser-rated installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or electricians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local building codes. Ensure the riser pathway is rated for CMR cable before routing vertical runs. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing or dressing in the rack. Power down or disconnect active equipment at the port before inserting or removing patch cords where hot-swap procedures are not in place.
