Belden Inc. C601402035 CAT6 Plus Cmr Patch Cable Red

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601402035 is a CAT6 Plus crossover patch cable rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) applications. Finished in red, this 35-inch cable is designed for direct Ethernet crossover connections between network devices without the need for a managed switch or crossover adapter. CMR-rated construction means it meets fire and smoke propagation requirements for installation inside building risers and general-purpose indoor runs. Network technicians and low-voltage installers rely on this cable for structured wiring projects where code compliance and reliable signal integrity are required.

This crossover cable is suited for residential and light commercial network installations. It is sold as a single unit and fits applications where a dedicated crossover connection is needed between two like devices such as switches, routers, or computers. The red jacket aids in quick visual identification of crossover versus straight-through cables on a patch panel or within a structured wiring enclosure. Its compact 35-inch length is well suited for short-run connections within equipment racks or media enclosures.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard crossover patch cable for CAT6 and CAT6E structured wiring systems in residential and commercial low-voltage installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or network installers in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local codes. Ensure all active network equipment is powered down before swapping or reseating cables in live rack environments. Verify the crossover designation before installation, as crossover and straight-through cables are not interchangeable for most applications. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the minimum bend radius to maintain cable performance.
