Belden Inc. CA21104015 Cat6 Patch Cable Cmr 15 Feet

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21104015 is a Cat6 patch cable rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) applications, designed for structured network installations in commercial and residential buildings. This 15-foot cable is built to support high-speed data transmission in Ethernet networks and is suitable for use in riser-rated environments where cables must pass between floors. It features a yellow jacket for easy identification in dense patch panel environments. Network technicians and low-voltage installers rely on this cable for reliable, code-compliant horizontal and vertical runs between switches, patch panels, and end devices.

This cable is suited for Cat6 network infrastructure deployments in office buildings, data rooms, and multi-floor commercial facilities. The CMR rating makes it appropriate for installation in vertical runs between floors without requiring conduit in most jurisdictions. It is commonly used to terminate connections at patch panels, switches, routers, and wall jacks in both new construction and retrofit environments. The yellow jacket color aids in cable management and identification within structured cabling systems.

Key Features

• CMR (Riser) rating for compliant vertical cable runs between floors
• Cat6 performance supporting Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 15-foot length suitable for rack-to-rack and panel-to-switch connections
• Yellow jacket for fast visual identification in high-density installations
• Sold as a single unit (EA)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Cat6 patch cable compatible with standard RJ45 ports on switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface equipment following TIA-568 wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified network installer. CMR-rated cables must be installed in compliance with local building codes and NEC Article 800 riser cable requirements. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the cable minimum bend radius, and do not route alongside high-voltage conductors without proper separation. Power down network equipment or use live-port safe-handling practices before connecting or disconnecting patch cables in active environments.
