Belden Inc. C601103225 Cat6 Plus Cmr Patch Cord

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601103225 is a Cat6 Plus CMR-rated patch cord in orange, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and light-industrial environments. CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating means this cable meets NEC requirements for riser-rated runs between floors, where flame spread must be controlled. At 225 feet, this cord is suited for longer horizontal or vertical runs that standard shorter patch cords cannot cover. It is installed by low-voltage cabling technicians, network engineers, and licensed electricians working on data infrastructure projects.

This patch cord is used in Category 6 and Category 6E structured cabling systems within commercial buildings, data centers, and multi-floor facilities. The orange jacket provides visual identification for cable management and circuit tracing in dense patch environments. Its riser rating makes it appropriate for installation inside building walls and vertical cable chases without requiring plenum-grade cable where plenum spaces are not present. Installers working to TIA-568 standards will find this cable appropriate for backbone and longer horizontal segment applications.

Key Features

• Cat6 Plus performance supports Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications over structured cabling
• CMR riser rating meets NEC Article 800 requirements for installation in riser pathways between floors
• 225-foot length accommodates longer runs beyond standard patch cord distances
• Orange jacket enables quick visual identification and color-coded cable management
• Sold as a single unit (EA), no minimum quantity bundling required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for Cat6 and Cat6E structured cabling systems requiring CMR-rated riser cables.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. De-energize adjacent circuits and confirm no active high-voltage wiring shares the same pathway before pulling cable through riser sleeves or conduit. Avoid sharp bends below the cable minimum bend radius and do not staple or pinch the jacket, as this degrades signal performance. Verify CMR suitability with local Authority Having Jurisdiction before installation in any space that may require CMP plenum-rated cable.
