Belden Inc. CA21109100 CAT6 Patch Cord Cmr 100 Ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21109100 is a CAT6 copper patch cord rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) and finished in white. Designed for structured cabling installations, it connects network equipment between patch panels, switches, routers, and end-user devices in riser-rated environments. At 100 feet in length, it suits longer horizontal or vertical runs within a building where a plenum rating is not required. Electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians install this cord in commercial and residential network infrastructure. The CMR rating makes it code-acceptable for vertical runs between floors in non-plenum spaces.

This patch cord is suited for commercial office cabling, data centers, server rooms, and multi-unit residential installations where riser-rated cabling is specified. It supports CAT6 network performance, making it appropriate for Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-T applications over shorter runs. The white jacket aids in color-coded cable management schemes. Installers pulling longer runs inside walls or between floors will find this length practical for reducing mid-run splices.

Key Features

• CMR riser rating meets code requirements for vertical inter-floor cable runs in non-plenum spaces
• CAT6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling standards
• 100-foot length reduces the need for couplers or mid-run connections on longer pulls
• White jacket supports color-coded cable management and easy identification
• Sold as a single unit for precise quantity ordering on service calls or project work

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with applicable NEC Article 800 requirements for communications cables. Verify the installation environment does not require a plenum (CMP) rating before using CMR-rated cable in air-handling spaces. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not exceed the cable pull tension rating during installation. Secure and dress cables with appropriate fasteners to maintain a clean, code-compliant run.
