Belden Inc. CA21114013 CAT6 Patch Cord Cmr Lszh

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21114013 is a CAT6 patch cord rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) environments with a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket. It is designed for use in structured cabling systems where flame spread and toxic smoke emission must be controlled, such as in riser runs between floors or in plenum-adjacent pathways. At 13 inches in length, this short patch cord suits tight rack or panel connections. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this type of cable during data center builds, server room builds, and commercial network infrastructure projects.

This patch cord fits standard CAT6 and CAT6E horizontal cabling installations in commercial and light industrial environments. The CMR rating makes it appropriate for in-wall and between-floor routing where riser-rated cabling is required by code. The LSZH jacket formulation reduces halogen off-gassing during a fire event, making it a common choice in occupied buildings, transportation facilities, and international projects where LSZH compliance is specified. It ships as a single unit and is sold individually.

Key Features

• CMR (Riser) rating suitable for vertical runs between floors in commercial buildings
• LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and halogen gas emission in fire conditions
• CAT6 performance supports Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Short 13-inch length designed for dense patch panel and rack connections
• Sold as a single unit for precise inventory management

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord compatible with CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems using 8P8C (RJ45) terminations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers handle this type of patch cord. No special tools are required beyond standard patch panel and switch port connections. Verify that the CMR rating meets the local building and fire code requirements for the specific routing path before installation. Do not route CMR-rated cable in air-handling plenum spaces where a CMP (plenum) rating is required by the NEC.
