Belden Inc. C6T1106016 Cat6 Plus Patch Cord Blue 16in

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. C6T1106016 is a Cat6 Plus traceable patch cord in blue, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and light industrial network environments. The traceable construction allows technicians to identify and trace individual cables within high-density patch panels and cable bundles without disconnecting live connections. At 16 inches in length, this cord is suited for short-run connections between adjacent patch panel ports or between a panel and a nearby switch. Licensed network cabling technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary end users for this type of patch cord.

This patch cord is used in Cat6 and Cat6E horizontal cabling systems, typically in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and structured wiring installations. The blue jacket color follows common color-coding conventions for data runs, making cable management and port identification faster during moves, adds, and changes. The 16-inch length is well suited for patch panel-to-switch connections within a single rack unit or adjacent rack positions.

Key Features

• Cat6 Plus performance rating for Gigabit and high-speed data applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for use in Cat6 and Cat6E structured cabling systems with standard RJ45 patch panels, keystones, and switches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are free of debris before seating connectors. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable that could degrade signal performance. Patch cords should not be used as permanent horizontal runs.
