Belden Inc. CA21109115 CAT6 Patch Cord Cmr

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21109115 is a CAT6 patch cord rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) with a white jacket. CMR-rated cables meet the flame and smoke requirements for installation in riser pathways between building floors, making them a code-compliant choice where building and fire codes restrict cable routing. This patch cord is used to make structured cabling connections between network equipment and patch panels or wall jacks. Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians, network cabling contractors, and experienced IT facility teams working within commercial and residential structured cabling systems.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal runs, equipment room connections, and riser pathways where a CMR rating is required by code. It terminates network devices such as switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards in standard RJ45 ports. The white jacket aids in color-coded cable management schemes commonly used in structured cabling installations to distinguish traffic types, zones, or floors.

Key Features

• CMR (Riser) flame rating meets code requirements for vertical riser pathway installations
• CAT6 category rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transmission
• White jacket supports color-coded cable management in structured cabling environments
• Sold individually as a single patch cord unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CAT6 patch cord compatible with RJ45-terminated structured cabling infrastructure including patch panels, wall jacks, and network equipment ports meeting CAT6 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local building codes. Verify that the CMR rating meets the requirements for the specific riser or plenum pathway before installation, as some jurisdictions require a higher CMP (plenum) rating in air-handling spaces. Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or excessive tension during routing to maintain cable performance. Patch cords should not be used as a substitute for horizontal or backbone cabling runs in permanent structured cabling installations.
