Belden Inc. C601106021 CAT6 Plus Cmr Patch Cord Blue 21in

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601106021 is a Category 6 Plus (CAT6+) rated patch cord built to CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) specifications. This cable delivers reliable horizontal and riser-rated structured cabling performance in commercial and light industrial network installations. Measuring 21 inches in length, it is suited for short patch bay and equipment rack connections where a tidy, low-slack run is needed. The blue jacket provides standard color-coding for network identification. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and structured cabling installers are the typical trades handling this type of cable.

This patch cord is intended for use in riser-rated (CMR) building environments where fire code requires cables to meet vertical flame spread requirements. Its 21-inch length makes it a practical choice for patch panel-to-switch connections in equipment racks, telecom rooms, and data closets in residential and commercial settings. It falls within the CAT6 and CAT6E patch cable product category, appropriate for Gigabit Ethernet and similar structured cabling applications.

Key Features

• CAT6 Plus (CAT6+) performance rating for Gigabit Ethernet structured cabling
• CMR (Riser) jacket rating meets vertical flame spread code requirements for in-building riser installations
• 21-inch cable length optimized for short equipment rack and patch panel runs
• Blue jacket for standard network color identification
• Sold individually (unit of measure: each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with CAT6 and CAT6E rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches using standard RJ45 terminations in riser-rated structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or structured cabling installers in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 cabling standards and applicable local fire and building codes. Ensure the cable path meets CMR riser-rating requirements for the installation environment. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius, as excessive bending can degrade signal performance on CAT6 cabling. Power down active network equipment before connecting or disconnecting patch cords where hot-swap procedures are not supported.
