Belden Inc. C6T1103013 Cat6 Patch Cord Orange 13in

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C6T1103013 is a Cat6 traceable patch cord finished in orange, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial network environments. This patch cord supports high-speed data transmission up to Cat6 performance standards, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and similar applications. The traceable construction allows technicians to identify and manage individual cables within dense patch panels and cable bundles. At 13 inches in length, it is well suited for short rack-to-rack or panel-to-switch connections where cable management and minimal slack are priorities. Network technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary tradespeople who work with this product.

This patch cord is intended for use in structured cabling systems within data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and commercial office environments. The 13-inch length is particularly practical for horizontal connections within a rack, such as patching between adjacent patch panels and active equipment. The orange jacket color aids in color-coded cable management schemes, helping to visually distinguish traffic types, VLANs, or circuit groups according to a site-specific labeling standard. It is sold individually as a single unit.

Key Features

• Cat6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth data applications
• Traceable construction aids cable identification in dense patch panel environments
• Orange jacket supports color-coded cable management systems
• 13-inch length designed for short intra-rack connections with minimal excess slack
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for Cat6 and Cat6E patch cable applications in structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 keystone jacks and patch panels.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure patch panels and switch ports are powered down or that hot-swap procedures are followed per site policy before repatching active circuits. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable beyond the minimum bend radius, as this can degrade Cat6 signal performance. Secure excess cable with hook-and-loop fasteners rather than zip ties to prevent jacket compression.
