Belden Inc. C601107048 CAT6 Plus Patch Cord Cmr 48 in

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601107048 is a CAT6+ rated patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This 48-inch cable carries a CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating, making it suitable for vertical runs between floors where riser-rated cabling is required by code. The purple jacket provides visual identification in high-density patch fields. It is sold as a single unit and is intended for use by licensed low-voltage contractors, network installers, and skilled electricians performing data cabling work.

This patch cord is used in horizontal and vertical network distribution runs, patch panel terminations, and equipment room connections. At 48 inches in length, it is well suited for rack-to-switch connections, patch panel face connections, and short equipment bay runs. The CMR rating satisfies National Electrical Code requirements for riser applications, reducing the need for conduit in qualifying vertical pathways. It fits standard RJ45 ports found in network switches, patch panels, and end devices.

Key Features

• CAT6+ performance rating supports Gigabit and high-speed data transmission
• CMR riser-rated jacket meets NEC requirements for vertical cable runs without conduit in qualifying applications
• 48-inch length suited for rack and patch panel connections
• Purple jacket aids visual identification in dense patch environments
• Single-unit packaging for flexible procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 connectivity.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling installers and licensed electricians typically install riser-rated patch cords in compliance with NEC Article 800 requirements. Verify the installation pathway qualifies for CMR-rated cable before substituting for CMP-rated plenum cable in air-handling spaces. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius for CAT6 cable, as this can degrade signal performance. Power down or disconnect active network equipment before swapping patch cords in live environments when possible.
