Belden Inc. C602106012A06 CAT6 Patch Cable Blue 12in

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C602106012A06 is a pre-terminated CAT6 patch cable assembly finished in blue. It is designed for structured cabling installations where a factory-terminated, ready-to-install cable run is required. The assembly ships in a single unit and is suited for data center patching, telecommunications closets, and network equipment rooms. Licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling installers are the primary trade audience for this product. The blue jacket aids in cable identification and color-coded patching schemes common in organized rack environments.

This patch cable assembly is used in residential and commercial network infrastructure where CAT6 performance is required. It is appropriate for horizontal and equipment-bay patching in structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 standards. The 12-inch length makes it well suited for short patch runs between adjacent ports on a patch panel or switch, minimizing cable slack in high-density rack installations.

Key Features

• Factory pre-terminated ends for consistent termination quality and reduced field labor
• CAT6 rated for gigabit and high-bandwidth network applications
• Blue jacket supports color-coded patching and port identification practices
• 12-inch length designed for short, high-density rack and panel patching
• Single-unit packaging for individual replacement or targeted installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pre-terminated CAT6 patch cable for use with standard RJ45 patch panels, network switches, and structured cabling equipment conforming to CAT6 wiring specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or structured cabling professionals. De-energize or power down active equipment ports before connecting or disconnecting patch cables where hot-plug procedures are not in use. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. Installations in commercial environments should conform to applicable TIA-568 and local low-voltage wiring codes.
