Belden Inc. C604106005 Cat6 Plus Lszh Patch Cord 5 Ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C604106005 is a Category 6 Plus (Cat6+) patch cord finished in blue with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket. LSZH jacketing is required in plenum, enclosed, or poorly ventilated spaces where toxic smoke from standard PVC can create hazardous conditions during a fire event. This cord ships as a single unit and is designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and light-industrial environments. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers. The Cat6+ designation supports bandwidth performance beyond standard Cat6 requirements, making it suitable for high-density data runs and patch panel terminations.

This patch cord is used in horizontal cable runs, server room patch panels, and equipment rack connections where LSZH compliance is mandated by local fire or building codes. It is well-suited for commercial office builds, data centers, healthcare facilities, and any installation governed by strict smoke and halogen emissions standards. The blue jacket provides straightforward visual identification in color-coded cabling schemes. At 5 feet in length, it is a typical rack-to-switch or patch-panel-to-switch jumper length.

Key Features

• Cat6+ performance rating supports high-bandwidth structured cabling installations
• LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and halogen gas emission in fire conditions
• Blue jacket enables color-coded cable management in multi-circuit environments
• 5-foot length suits standard rack and patch panel jumper applications
• Single-unit packaging simplifies small-quantity procurement for service calls or adds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Cat6 Plus patch cord compatible with standard RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches that accept Cat6 or Cat6A terminations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and structured cabling contractors typically install this product. Verify that the destination patch panel or jack is rated Cat6 or higher before terminating. When LSZH cable is required, confirm the installation environment meets the applicable code designation, such as those referenced under NFPA 70 (NEC) or local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance.
