Belden Inc. C601103132 CAT6 Plus Cmr Patch Cord Orange

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601103132 is a CAT6 Plus CMR-rated patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and light-industrial environments. This copper data cable delivers reliable Gigabit and high-speed Ethernet connectivity across horizontal and backbone runs where riser-rated cabling is required by code. At 132 inches in length, it provides ample slack for rack-to-switch, patch-panel-to-panel, and equipment-room cross-connect applications. The CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating meets fire propagation standards for installation in vertical shafts and between floors without conduit in many jurisdictions.

This patch cord is suited for structured cabling installations in office buildings, data closets, server rooms, and multi-floor commercial facilities. It is a common choice for connecting patch panels to network switches or for horizontal device drops where a pre-terminated, factory-tested cable simplifies deployment. Low-voltage technicians and network cabling contractors are the primary installers. The orange jacket aids in visual color-coding schemes used to differentiate network segments or cable types within a rack environment.

Key Features

• CMR riser rating meets fire and building code requirements for vertical cable runs
• CAT6 Plus performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data applications
• 132-inch length provides flexible routing in equipment rooms and wiring closets
• Orange jacket enables color-coded cable management in multi-segment installations
• Factory-terminated construction ensures consistent, tested signal integrity out of the box

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use patch cord compatible with CAT6 and CAT6 Plus patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 network equipment following TIA-568 wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians following ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local building codes. Verify that the CMR rating satisfies the fire-resistance requirements of the specific shaft or riser pathway before installation. Avoid exceeding the cable minimum bend radius during routing to prevent signal degradation. Do not use CMR-rated cable in plenum air-handling spaces where CMP-rated cable is required by code.
