Belden Inc. C601208020 Cat6 Plus Cmr Pigtail Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601208020 is a Cat6 Plus CMR-rated pigtail patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential environments. This pigtail assembly supports high-performance Category 6 data transmission and carries a CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating, making it suitable for vertical runs between floors in riser pathways. At 20 inches in length, it is sized for short-hop connections, keystone terminations, and punch-down applications. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers typically deploy this cable where a factory-terminated, flexible pigtail connection is required rather than a field-crimped end.

This pigtail is applicable in structured cabling systems supporting Ethernet networks, patch panel terminations, and telecom closet installations. The CMR rating qualifies it for riser-rated building spaces per applicable fire and building codes. Its gray jacket aids in color-coded cable management schemes common in data centers, server rooms, and telecom rooms. It is sold as an individual unit and is appropriate for both new construction pulls and retrofit upgrades to existing Cat6 or Cat6-plus infrastructure.

Key Features

• Cat6 Plus performance rating supports Gigabit and higher-speed Ethernet applications
• CMR riser rating for vertical cable runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings
• 20-inch length suited for short patch, pigtail, and keystone termination applications
• Gray jacket color supports standard color-coded cable management practices
• Factory-terminated pigtail construction reduces field termination time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental pigtail for Cat6 and Cat6 Plus structured cabling systems utilizing CMR-rated riser pathway installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure all active network equipment is powered down or ports are deactivated before connecting or disconnecting patch cables in live racks. Avoid sharp bends below the cable minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. Cable management accessories such as D-rings or horizontal managers are recommended to maintain a clean, serviceable installation.
