Belden Inc. C601103026 CAT6 Plus Cmr Patch Cord 26 Ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601103026 is a CAT6 Plus rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) patch cord finished in orange jacket. Designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings, this patch cord provides reliable high-speed data connectivity between network equipment, patch panels, and wall jacks. The CMR rating makes it suitable for installation in riser spaces between floors, meeting fire code requirements for vertical cable runs. At 26 feet in length, it covers longer horizontal runs within equipment rooms or between floors on the same riser path. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers are the primary trade professionals who specify and terminate this type of cable.

This patch cord is used in structured cabling systems supporting Ethernet networks in commercial office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and similar environments. It is suited for connections to switches, routers, patch panels, and end-user network ports where a pre-terminated, factory-assembled cord is preferred over field-terminated cable. The orange jacket color aids in cable management and visual identification of network segments or circuit types within a rack or wiring closet.

Key Features

• CAT6 Plus performance rating supports high-speed data network applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for use in CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems utilizing standard RJ45 patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switch ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local building codes. Power down or disable ports on active network equipment before connecting or disconnecting patch cords where disruption to live circuits is a concern. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not cinch cable ties excessively, as either can degrade signal performance on CAT6 cabling. Riser-rated cable must be installed in accordance with NEC Article 800 requirements for communications wiring in riser applications.
