Belden Inc. CA21114014 CAT6 Patch Cord Cmr Lszh 14in

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21114014 is a Category 6 patch cord rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) applications with a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket. Designed for structured cabling installations, this patch cord provides reliable high-speed data transmission in horizontal and backbone cable runs where riser fire ratings are required. At 14 inches in length, it is well suited for short-distance connections within patch panels, switches, and data distribution frames. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers of this type of structured cabling component.

This patch cord is used in commercial and residential structured wiring environments where CAT6 performance and riser-rated jacket materials are specified. The LSZH jacket compound reduces toxic smoke and halogen gas emission in the event of fire, making it appropriate for installations in occupied buildings, plenum-adjacent spaces, and environments with strict fire and smoke codes. Typical applications include data center patching, telecommunications rooms, and network equipment rack connections where short, managed cable runs are needed.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance rating for high-speed data transmission
• CMR riser-rated jacket meets fire propagation requirements for vertical cable runs
• LSZH jacket compound limits toxic smoke and halogen gas emissions
• 14-inch length suits short patch panel and switch port connections
• Sold as individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 patch panels, switches, and network interface equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or registered communications cabling technician in accordance with applicable NEC Article 800 requirements for riser-rated cabling. Power down connected network equipment before disconnecting active patch cords where possible to avoid data interruption. Avoid sharp bends beyond the minimum bend radius of the cable to maintain signal integrity. Verify that the installed jacket rating matches the building code requirements for the cable pathway before installation.
