Belden Inc. CA21100007 Cat6a Cmr Patch Cord 7 Ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21100007 is a Cat6A CMR-rated patch cord finished in black with a 7-foot length. It belongs to the B10GX series, designed for high-speed structured cabling applications that demand reliable signal integrity up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating means this cable meets fire resistance requirements for installation in riser spaces between floors. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors use this patch cord to connect switches, patch panels, servers, and end devices in both commercial and light industrial environments.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and riser pathway installations in commercial buildings where riser-rated cabling is required by local code. It is commonly deployed in structured cabling systems supporting 10GBase-T networks in data centers, server rooms, telecom closets, and office environments. The 7-foot length makes it practical for short equipment-to-patch-panel or switch-to-device runs inside standard network racks and cabinets.

Key Features

• Cat6A performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T) applications
• CMR riser rating meets fire resistance requirements for vertical runs between floors
• 7-foot length suits short rack and cabinet patch runs
• Black jacket for easy visual management in color-coded cabling systems
• B10GX series construction designed for consistent signal integrity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord compatible with Cat6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 ports in structured cabling systems meeting ANSI/TIA-568 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling contractors or qualified network technicians. Verify that all connecting hardware is rated for Cat6A performance to maintain system integrity. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable, and do not overtighten cable management hardware. Local building codes and NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 800 govern the use of CMR-rated communications cables in riser spaces.
