Belden Inc. C601202020 Cat6 Plus Cmr Pigtail Red 20in

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601202020 is a Cat6 Plus CMR-rated pigtail patch cable finished in red. It is designed for structured cabling installations where a short, pre-terminated cable assembly is needed to connect patch panels, keystone jacks, or network equipment inside telecommunications rooms and equipment enclosures. The CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating qualifies this cable for installation in vertical runs between floors, meeting fire-resistance requirements for riser applications. At 20 inches in length, it is suited for short-distance connections within a rack or cabinet. Licensed network cabling technicians and low-voltage installers typically specify this assembly in commercial and residential data installations.

This pigtail cable is used in structured Cat6 and Cat6 Plus cabling systems, including horizontal distribution frames, patch panels, and equipment racks. The red jacket provides a quick visual identification method for port organization or VLAN segmentation in high-density patching environments. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both new installations and service replacement work in commercial office, campus, and residential structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians install this assembly in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize or power down active network equipment before connecting or disconnecting patch cables in live environments. Avoid sharp bends below the cable's minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. CMR-rated cables are not a substitute for CMP-rated plenum cables in air-handling spaces.
