Belden Inc. C601504060 CAT6 Plus Cmr Crossover Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601504060 is a CAT6 Plus crossover cable rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) applications. This cable is designed to carry structured network data signals between like devices without the need for an intermediate switch or router. It is used in horizontal and riser runs where building code requires a flame-retardant jacket. The yellow jacket aids in quick visual identification on the rack or in the ceiling. Network technicians and low-voltage electricians install this cable as part of structured cabling systems in commercial and residential environments.

This crossover cable is suited for installations that demand riser-rated cabling compliance. It fits into CAT6 and CAT6A patching infrastructure, making it appropriate for data centers, telecom rooms, and commercial office environments where 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, and Gigabit Ethernet runs are terminated at CAT6 patch panels. The yellow jacket color is commonly used to designate crossover or special-purpose connections in a color-coded cabling scheme.

Key Features

• CMR riser rating meets fire code requirements for vertical and riser cable runs
• CAT6 Plus performance supports high-speed structured network cabling applications
• Yellow jacket provides easy visual identification among other cable types
• Crossover wiring configuration enables direct device-to-device connections without a switch
• Sold as a single cable unit per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard installation cable for use with CAT6 and CAT6A patch panels and keystone jack systems in riser-rated structured cabling environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with NEC Article 800 requirements for communications cables. Verify the riser pathway is clear and that bend radius minimums for CAT6 cabling are maintained throughout the run. Do not exceed the cable manufacturer pull-tension limits during installation, and avoid sharp bends or kinks that can degrade signal performance. Power down any active ports at the patch panel or switch before terminating connections.
