Belden Inc. CA21100045 CAT6 Patch Cord Cmr Black

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21100045 is a CAT6 patch cord rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) environments. It is designed for structured cabling installations where horizontal runs and riser pathways require compliant interconnect cables. The black jacket and 45-unit designation indicate a specific length variant within the B10GX series product family. This patch cord is used to terminate and cross-connect network equipment at patch panels, switches, and wall jacks. Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians and licensed electricians working within commercial or residential structured cabling systems.

This patch cord is suited for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling deployments in commercial buildings, server rooms, telecom closets, and riser pathways. The CMR rating makes it appropriate for use in vertical runs between floors where plenum-rated cable is not required. It is sold as a single unit and connects standard RJ45 termination points across network infrastructure applications.

Key Features

• CMR (Riser) jacket rating suitable for vertical inter-floor cable runs where plenum rating is not required
• CAT6 performance category supporting high-speed Ethernet data transmission
• Part of the B10GX series, designed for consistent 10GbE-capable structured cabling environments
• Black jacket for easy visual identification and cable management
• Single-unit packaging for individual replacement or incremental installation work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems using RJ45 connectivity.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and licensed electricians typically install riser-rated patch cords in accordance with NEC Article 800 requirements for communications wiring. Ensure the cable pathway is classified for CMR use before installation in riser applications. Do not substitute a CMR-rated cord in plenum air-handling spaces where CMP-rated cable is required. Inspect connectors for proper seating at both termination points after installation.
