Belden Inc. CA21100082 CAT6 Cmr Patch Cord 82in

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21100082 is a CAT6 patch cord rated for CMR (riser) applications, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. This patch cord supports 10GX performance, enabling high-speed data transmission across horizontal and backbone cable runs. The CMR flame rating makes it suitable for use in riser spaces between floors where fire-spread resistance is required by code. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable to terminate equipment in patch panels, switches, routers, and other network hardware. At 82 inches in length, it provides the reach needed for medium-distance rack-to-rack or panel-to-device connections.

This patch cord is suited for structured cabling deployments in commercial office environments, data centers, server rooms, and multi-floor building risers. The 10GX designation indicates compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. Installers typically use this cable for permanent or semi-permanent connections within telecom closets and equipment rooms where a longer pre-terminated cord is preferred over a field-terminated solution.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance supporting 10GX high-speed data transmission
• CMR (riser) flame rating suitable for vertical shaft and riser installations per building codes
• Black jacket for easy visual identification and cable management
• 82-inch length accommodates medium-distance equipment connections in rack environments
• Factory pre-terminated for consistent performance and reduced install time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems using RJ45-terminated horizontal or riser cabling runs.

Installation Notes

This patch cord should be installed by a licensed low-voltage technician or network cabling professional familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Do not exceed the cable's minimum bend radius during routing, as excessive bending can degrade signal integrity. Ensure the riser pathway is rated and approved for CMR cabling per applicable local and national building codes before installation. Avoid routing alongside high-voltage power conductors without maintaining adequate separation per NEC guidelines.
