Belden Inc. C601507007 CAT6 Crossover Patch Cable Cmr

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C601507007 is a CAT6 crossover patch cable rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) environments. Built to IEEE crossover wiring standards, this cable is designed for direct device-to-device connections without an intermediate switch or router. At 7 inches in length, it is suited for short-run patch applications in structured cabling systems, server racks, and patch panel installations. Licensed electricians, low-voltage cabling technicians, and network infrastructure installers are the primary trades working with this cable type.

This cable is intended for use in riser-rated building environments where CMR-rated cabling is required by code. Typical applications include data center patch panels, telecommunications rooms, and equipment racks where CAT6 performance is specified. The crossover configuration makes it appropriate for legacy or specialized direct-connect scenarios between like devices such as switches, routers, or network interface cards without auto-MDIX support.

Key Features

• IEEE crossover wiring configuration for direct device-to-device connectivity
• CAT6 performance rating supporting high-speed data transmission
• CMR (Riser) flame rating for use in vertical cable runs between floors
• Compact 7-inch length for tight patch panel and rack installations
• Sold as a single unit (EA), compatible with standard CAT6 patch panel infrastructure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard crossover patch cable for use with CAT6 and CAT6A patch panel systems in riser-rated structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or licensed electricians in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable NEC riser cabling requirements. Power down or disconnect active network equipment before swapping patch cables in live rack environments to avoid unintended network disruption. Verify the crossover configuration is appropriate for the connected devices, as modern equipment with auto-MDIX may not require a crossover cable. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius specified for CAT6 cabling during routing and dressing.
