Belden Inc. C601405010 CAT6 Plus Cmr Crossover Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601405010 is a CAT6 Plus CMR-rated crossover patch cable designed for direct device-to-device network connections without an intermediate switch or router. Built to CAT6 standards, it supports high-speed data transmission and is rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) for installation in riser pathways between floors. At 10 inches in length, this cable suits tight equipment-bay connections, patch panel jumpers, or short-run horizontal links inside server racks and telecommunications closets. Network technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary trades handling this product.

This crossover cable is suited for residential and commercial structured cabling environments where a direct host-to-host or switch-to-switch connection is required. Its riser rating makes it acceptable in building pathways governed by fire and building codes that require CMR-rated cabling. The 10-inch length targets high-density rack installations where cable management space is at a premium and a standard-length patch cord would create excessive slack.

Key Features

• CAT6 Plus performance rating supports Gigabit and above data transmission speeds
• CMR (Riser) fire rating approved for vertical riser runs between floors
• Crossover wiring configuration enables direct device-to-device connections
• 10-inch length minimizes cable bulk in high-density rack and patch panel installations
• Green jacket color for easy visual identification and cable management

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crossover patch cable for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling applications using standard RJ45 terminations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically handle CAT6 patch cable termination and routing. Follow local building codes and TIA-568 standards for cabling installation in riser pathways. Verify that the crossover wiring configuration is required for the intended device pairing before installation, as crossover cables are not interchangeable with standard straight-through patch cords in all applications. Power down network equipment before swapping active patch connections where disruption to live traffic is a concern.
