Belden Inc. CA21106023 CAT6 Patch Cable Blue 23 in

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21106023 is a CAT6 patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Built to CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating standards, this cable is suitable for vertical runs between floors where fire-retardant performance is required. The cable is finished in blue for easy visual identification in dense patch environments. At 23 inches in length, it is well suited for short runs in data closets, patch panels, and equipment racks. Electricians and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers of this cable type.

This patch cable is used in structured cabling systems where CAT6 or CAT6E performance is required. Typical applications include server rooms, telecommunications closets, and office network installations. The 23-inch length is a common choice for patch panel to switch connections within a single rack or adjacent rack configurations. The CMR rating makes it appropriate for riser pathways in multi-story buildings where local fire codes require rated cabling.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cable for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 terminations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and electricians typically install riser-rated patch cables in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local fire codes. Verify that the CMR rating meets the requirements of the installation pathway before routing. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Power down connected network equipment before disturbing live patch connections in active environments.
