Belden Inc. C601405007 CAT6 Plus Cmr Crossover Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601405007 is a CAT6 Plus crossover patch cable rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) applications. This cable is designed to carry Ethernet network signals directly between two like devices without the need for a switch or router. It ships in a green jacket for easy identification in structured cabling environments. At 7 inches in length, it is suited for short patch connections in tight spaces such as patch panels, rack enclosures, and wall-mount installations. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this cable type.

This cable is appropriate for use in commercial and residential riser-rated structured cabling installations where a crossover connection is required. The CMR rating allows the cable to run vertically between floors in accordance with fire code requirements. Its compact 7-inch length makes it well suited for panel-to-panel or device-to-device connections in high-density rack environments where cable management and minimal slack are priorities.

Key Features

• CAT6 Plus performance for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
• CMR riser rating meets fire code requirements for vertical runs between floors
• Crossover wiring configuration enables direct device-to-device connections without intermediary switching hardware
• Green jacket aids in quick cable identification in multi-cable installations
• 7-inch length designed for short, low-slack patch connections in rack and panel environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard crossover patch cable for CAT6 and CAT6-plus structured cabling systems using RJ45 terminations in riser-rated environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling technician or qualified network installer familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure the patch panel or device ports are powered down or have no active live connections that could disrupt network service before swapping cables. Avoid sharp bends at termination points that could exceed the minimum bend radius and degrade signal performance. Riser-rated cable must be installed in accordance with local fire codes and the NEC where applicable.
