Belden Inc. C601408004 CAT6 Plus Cmr Crossover Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601408004 is a CAT6 Plus CMR-rated crossover patch cable designed for direct device-to-device network connections without a switch or router in the signal path. Rated for use in commercial plenum and riser environments, this cable meets the demands of structured cabling installations where code-compliant flame spread ratings are required. At 4 feet in length, it is suited for short-run connections between adjacent equipment. Network technicians and low-voltage installers rely on this cable type for workbench setups, direct PC-to-PC links, and equipment rack cross-connections.

This crossover cable is intended for commercial and light industrial network environments where CMR riser-rated cabling is specified. Common applications include connecting two computers directly, linking network switches back-to-back, or patching equipment in telecommunications rooms and data closets. The gray jacket color supports color-coded cable management practices common in structured cabling deployments.

Key Features

• CAT6 Plus performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications
• CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable Riser) flame rating for riser and commercial installations
• Crossover wiring configuration for direct device-to-device connections
• Gray jacket for visual identification and color-coded patch panel management
• 4-foot length suits short-run rack and bench applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crossover patch cable for use with CAT6 and CAT6-compatible network equipment, patch panels, and keystone jack terminations in riser-rated structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

This cable is installed by low-voltage technicians and structured cabling professionals. Route riser-rated cables only in vertical shaft and riser pathways as defined by applicable fire and building codes. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius for CAT6 cable, as deformation can degrade signal performance. Verify that connected equipment ports support auto-MDI/MDI-X detection or require a crossover cable before installation.
