Belden Inc. C643109006 Cat6 Cm Patch Cord 6in White

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C643109006 is a Cat6 CM-rated patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential environments. Finished in white, this 6-inch cord provides a reliable, low-loss copper connection between network equipment and patch panels or wall jacks. Cat6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and higher-bandwidth applications up to the specifications defined by TIA-568 standards. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating makes it suitable for in-building horizontal runs and general-purpose network closet patching. It ships as a single unit and is ready to install out of the box.

This patch cord is used wherever a short, organized Cat6 connection is needed inside a server rack, network cabinet, or communications room. The 6-inch length is well suited for high-density patching where longer cords create cable management problems. Electricians, low-voltage installers, and IT infrastructure technicians typically deploy this cord during initial rack buildouts or when replacing damaged or substandard patch cables in an existing installation.

Key Features

• Cat6 performance for Gigabit Ethernet and bandwidth-intensive network applications
• CM-rated jacket suitable for general in-building use
• 6-inch length ideal for high-density patch panel installations
• White finish aids visual organization and cable identification in structured cabling systems
• Single-unit packaging for targeted replacement or small-quantity installs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cord compatible with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches that accept 8P8C modular connectors.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage installers or licensed electricians performing data cabling work should follow TIA-568 termination standards and local building codes when deploying patch cords in communications rooms or equipment racks. Power down or place network equipment in a safe state before disturbing active cable connections to avoid data disruption. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of Cat6 cable, as kinking the cord can degrade signal performance. Do not use this CM-rated cord as a substitute for CMP (plenum) or CMR (riser) rated cable in plenum air-handling spaces or vertical riser pathways.
