Belden Inc. C601121005 CAT6 Plus Cmr Patch Cord 5 Ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601121005 is a CAT6 Plus CMR-rated patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential environments. CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating makes this cord suitable for vertical runs between floors where fire-spread resistance is required by code. The almond jacket finish allows it to blend with common wall plates and patch panels in light-colored installations. At 5 feet in length, it is sized for short horizontal runs between patch panels, switches, and wall jacks in equipment rooms and telecom closets.

This patch cord is intended for use in data networking applications where CAT6 Plus performance is required. Typical installations include structured cabling in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and light industrial environments. It connects network switches, routers, patch panels, and end devices. Low-voltage cabling contractors and network installers are the primary trades that deploy this type of cord during initial cabling buildouts and equipment moves or changes.

Key Features

• CAT6 Plus performance rating for high-speed data transmission
• CMR riser-rated jacket meets fire-resistance requirements for vertical cable runs
• Almond jacket color for coordination with light-colored infrastructure components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems using RJ45 terminations in riser-rated installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling contractors or network technicians. Riser-rated cables must be installed in accordance with NEC Article 800 requirements for communications wiring in vertical runs between floors. Verify that the CMR rating meets local authority having jurisdiction requirements before installation. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable, as exceeding the minimum bend radius can degrade signal performance.
