Belden Inc. CA21103007 Cat6a Cmr Patch Cable 7 Ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21103007 is a Category 6A CMR-rated patch cable finished in orange, measuring 7 feet in length. It belongs to the B10GX cable family, engineered to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth structured cabling installations. The CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating makes it suitable for vertical runs between floors in commercial buildings where riser-rated cabling is required by code. Electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians use this patch cable to terminate structured cabling runs at patch panels, switches, and networked equipment in data closets and telecommunications rooms.

This patch cable is suited for commercial and light-industrial structured cabling projects where 10GbE performance and riser-rated materials are specified. It fits standard horizontal and riser pathway installations in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and similar commercial environments. The orange jacket provides quick visual identification of specific cable runs or network segments at the patch panel, simplifying moves, additions, and changes in high-density environments.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz
• CMR riser rating meets National Electrical Code requirements for vertical cable runs between floors
• Orange jacket color allows easy visual identification and cable management in patch panels and cable trays
• 7-foot length suits short patch panel-to-switch runs and equipment room cross-connects
• B10GX series construction designed for consistent, reliable transmission in structured cabling systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cable for Cat6A structured cabling systems using CMR-rated riser pathways in commercial installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and local NEC requirements for riser cabling. Verify the riser pathway classification before substituting cable ratings, and never install a CMR-rated cable in plenum spaces where CMP rating is required. Avoid sharp bends below the cable's minimum bend radius and do not cinch cable ties so tightly that the jacket deforms, as this can degrade Cat6A transmission performance.
