Belden Inc. CA21106034 CAT6 Patch Cable Blue 34 in

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21106034 is a B10GX-series CAT6 patch cable rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) and finished in blue. Riser-rated cables meet fire-resistance requirements for vertical runs between floors, making them suitable for commercial and institutional network infrastructure. This patch cable is designed for structured cabling installations where horizontal runs connect patch panels to switches or end devices. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers. The blue jacket provides quick visual identification in dense patch panel environments. Sold individually, this cable supports high-speed Ethernet connections in both new installations and retrofits.

The CA21106034 is intended for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling applications in commercial buildings, data rooms, and telecom closets. Its CMR riser rating makes it appropriate for installations inside walls and between floors where non-plenum riser pathways are used. It is commonly deployed to connect patch panels, switches, routers, and network jacks in both new construction and upgrade projects.

Key Features

• B10GX-series CAT6 construction supports Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
• CMR riser rating meets fire-resistance requirements for vertical cable runs between floors
• Blue jacket enables fast visual identification at patch panels and wall jacks
• Factory-terminated patchcord design eliminates field termination and reduces installation time
• Sold as individual unit for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fitment patch cable for CAT6 and CAT6E patch panel and structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure contractors typically install riser-rated patch cables. Installations should comply with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local building codes governing riser pathways. Do not substitute a CMR-rated cable in plenum-rated air-handling spaces, where CMP-rated cable is required. Avoid sharp bends or over-tensioning, as exceeding the minimum bend radius can degrade signal performance.
