Belden Inc. C601103023 CAT6 Plus Cmr Patch Cord 23 Inch

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601103023 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 qualifies this cable for use in vertical runs between floors where flame spread resistance is required by code. At 23 inches in length, it suits short horizontal connections between patch panels, switches, and other rack-mounted equipment. The orange jacket provides quick visual identification in high-density cable management scenarios. Network technicians and low-voltage installers rely on patch cords like this for clean, organized data center and telecom room builds.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and riser data cabling applications in commercial buildings, server rooms, and telecom closets. Its CAT6 Plus performance rating supports high-speed data transmission at standard network frequencies. The 23-inch length makes it practical for short patch panel-to-switch connections within a single rack or adjacent rack bays. It ships as a single unit, making it easy to order exact quantities for patch bay terminations or equipment changeouts.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems in commercial riser and horizontal pathway applications.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage installers and network technicians handle patch cord installation as part of structured cabling work governed by NEC Article 800. Ensure the cable run pathway meets the CMR riser rating requirements before installation in vertical shafts or between floors. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not cinch cable ties so tightly that they deform the jacket. Power down active network ports when swapping patch cords in live environments to prevent unintended data disruption.
