Belden Inc. CA21103005 Cat6a Cmr Patch Cable 5 Ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21103005 is a Cat6A CMR-rated patch cable finished in orange and cut to a 5-foot length. It is designed for structured cabling installations where 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance is required across horizontal runs or within telecommunications rooms. CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating makes this cable suitable for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings. Electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians install this type of patch cord to terminate structured wiring systems and interconnect active network equipment.

This patch cable is suited for data center, enterprise, and commercial building installations where Cat6A performance is specified. The orange jacket serves as a visual identifier, which is commonly used in color-coded patch panel environments to distinguish network segments, VLANs, or circuit types. At 5 feet, it is appropriate for short equipment-to-patch-panel or switch-to-server connections within a rack or cabinet.

Key Features

• Cat6A performance supporting 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
• CMR riser rating for vertical cable runs between floors
• 5-foot length for short in-rack or in-cabinet connections
• Orange jacket for color-coded cable management
• Sold as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fitment patch cable for Cat6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in riser-rated structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and licensed electricians install Cat6A patch cables in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable NEC riser-cable requirements. De-energize or power down connected equipment before disconnecting active patch cords to avoid network disruption. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius for Cat6A cable, and avoid routing alongside high-voltage conductors without proper separation. Confirm that patch panels and jacks are rated for Cat6A before installation.
