Belden Inc. CA21104014 CAT6 Patch Cable Yellow 14in

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21104014 is a CAT6 patchcord rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) environments. It is designed for horizontal and vertical cable runs inside commercial and residential buildings where riser-rated cabling is required by code. Finished in yellow for easy visual identification, this 14-inch patch cable connects network equipment within structured cabling systems, patch panels, and equipment racks. Electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians install this type of patch cable as part of data network infrastructure builds and moves-adds-changes.

This patch cable is suited for short-run connections between patch panels and network switches, or between wall jacks and active equipment. Its CMR rating makes it appropriate for use in riser pathways and general building cable runs where plenum-rated cable is not required. The yellow jacket aids in port and circuit identification in high-density rack environments common in commercial data rooms and telecom closets.

Key Features

• CMR riser rating suitable for vertical cable runs inside building risers
• CAT6 category performance for data network cabling applications
• Yellow jacket for quick visual circuit identification in rack and patch panel environments
• 14-inch length designed for short patch connections in high-density installations
• Single unit packaging for precise quantity control on the job

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use patch cable for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems utilizing standard RJ45 patch panels and network switches.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and licensed electricians typically install riser-rated patch cables as part of structured cabling systems governed by ANSI/TIA-568 standards and local building codes. Ensure the cable route complies with CMR riser-rating requirements before installation in vertical pathways. Do not exceed the cable's minimum bend radius when routing through racks or conduit. Verify all patch panel and switch ports are de-energized or in a safe state before making or breaking connections in live network environments.
