Belden Inc. CA21107045 CAT6 Patch Cable Cmr Purple

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21107045 is a B10GX-series CAT6 patch cable rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) with a purple jacket. This cable is designed for structured cabling installations that require horizontal or riser-rated connectivity between network equipment and patch panels or wall outlets. The CMR rating allows installation in vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings where plenum-rated cable is not required. It is sold as a single unit and is suited for use by low-voltage cabling technicians and electricians working on data network infrastructure.

This patch cable fits applications in commercial office environments, data closets, and building riser pathways. The B10GX designation places it within a 10-Gigabit-capable CAT6 series, making it appropriate for high-speed LAN infrastructure supporting switches, routers, and patch panels. The purple jacket supports color-coded cable management practices common in structured cabling systems. It is typically installed by low-voltage contractors or network cabling technicians following ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards.

Key Features

• CMR (Riser) fire rating suitable for vertical building runs outside plenum air spaces
• B10GX-series construction supporting CAT6 performance specifications
• Purple jacket for color-coded cable plant identification and management
• Single-unit packaging for targeted replacement or short-run installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style CAT6 patch cable for use with standard RJ45 patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in riser-rated structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 and applicable NEC Article 800 requirements. Verify that the riser rating is appropriate for the specific pathway before installation, and use plenum-rated cable where air-handling spaces are involved. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius for CAT6 cable and avoid sharp staples or tie wraps that can deform the jacket and affect signal integrity.
