Belden Inc. CA21100145 Cat6 Cmr Patch Cable 145 Ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21100145 is a Category 6 patch cable rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) and finished in black. CMR-rated cables are listed for use in vertical runs between floors, meeting riser fire-resistance requirements without requiring plenum-grade material. At 145 feet, this cable is suited for longer structured-wiring runs where pre-terminated patch cords are preferred over field-terminated solutions. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable to connect switches, patch panels, servers, and other active network equipment in commercial and light industrial environments.

This patch cable is designed for horizontal and riser pathway installations in commercial buildings where Cat6 performance is required. It is a practical choice for data center cabling, telecommunications rooms, and structured cabling systems that follow ANSI/TIA-568 standards. The 145-foot length makes it appropriate for longer runs within a floor or between adjacent floors via riser pathways. Sold as a single unit, it ships ready to terminate or patch into existing infrastructure.

Key Features

• CMR (Riser) fire rating for vertical between-floor installations
• Category 6 performance for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 145-foot pre-terminated length reduces field termination labor
• Black jacket for easy color-coded cable management
• Factory-terminated ends for consistent, tested connectivity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Cat6 patch cable compatible with standard RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switch ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or network cabling professional in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 and applicable local building codes. CMR-rated cable is approved for riser applications but must not be substituted for CMP-rated (plenum) cable in air-handling spaces. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not staple or pinch the jacket during routing. Verify continuity and performance with a qualified cable tester after installation.
