Belden Inc. C631208007 Cat6 Cmr Pigtail 7 in Gray

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C631208007 is a Cat6 CMR-rated pigtail patch cable finished in gray. CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating means the cable meets riser fire-resistance requirements, making it appropriate for runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings. At 7 inches in length, this pigtail is designed for short, high-density termination work rather than standard horizontal runs. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use pigtails like this to terminate structured cabling in patch panels, wall jacks, and distribution frames where a factory-terminated end is preferred over field termination.

This cable is suited for Cat6 and Cat6-plus structured cabling installations in both commercial and residential environments. It is typically deployed inside telecommunications rooms, server closets, and network equipment racks. The short pigtail format is common in high-density patch panel builds where consistent, factory-terminated connections reduce signal variance and save installation time compared to punch-down terminations. The gray jacket color aids in visual cable management by allowing color-coded identification schemes.

Key Features

• Cat6 performance rating supporting Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth structured cabling
• CMR riser-rated jacket meets fire-resistance requirements for between-floor cable runs
• Gray jacket for visual identification and color-coded cable management
• 7-inch pigtail length suited to high-density patch panel and distribution frame work
• Factory-terminated end for consistent, repeatable connection quality

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental component for Cat6 and Cat6-plus structured cabling patch panel systems in commercial and residential low-voltage installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified network cabling installer in accordance with applicable local codes and TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or de-energize active ports on patch panels and switches before connecting or disconnecting patch cables. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade Cat6 performance. Follow CMR routing restrictions and do not substitute a CMR-rated cable in plenum air-handling spaces, where a CMP-rated cable is required.
