Belden Inc. CA21105002 CAT6 Patch Cord Cmr Green

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21105002 is a CAT6 patch cord rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) environments. It features a green jacket for easy identification in structured cabling installations and is designed for use in horizontal runs between network equipment, patch panels, and wall outlets. Riser-rated cabling is required by code in vertical runs between floors to limit flame spread. This patch cord is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for installation by electricians, low-voltage technicians, and network cabling professionals working in commercial and residential structured wiring projects.

This patch cord is suited for CAT6 and CAT6E horizontal cabling applications in riser environments. It is commonly used to connect switches, routers, patch panels, and end devices within a structured cabling system. The green jacket color aids cable management and identification in high-density installations. Its CMR rating makes it code-compliant for installation inside building walls and vertical shafts where riser-rated cable is required.

Key Features

• CMR riser rating meets code requirements for vertical and in-wall cable runs
• CAT6 performance category supports Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Green jacket for quick visual identification and organized cable management
• Single-unit packaging suitable for individual replacement or targeted installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems using 8P8C (RJ45) terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local codes. De-energize connected network equipment before replacing patch cords in live racks or panels. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable to prevent signal degradation. Do not use CMR-rated cable as a substitute for CMP (plenum) rated cable in air-handling spaces.
