Belden Inc. CA21115018 CAT6 Patch Cord Cmr 18 in

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21115018 is a B10GX-series CAT6 patch cord rated CMR (riser) and finished in light green. It ships in an 18-inch length, making it well suited for short structured-cabling runs inside equipment racks, patch panels, and wall-mount enclosures. The CMR rating meets the NEC requirement for cables routed through building risers and plenum-adjacent spaces where a non-plenum riser jacket is acceptable. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and network infrastructure installers work with this cable in both new construction and retrofit wiring projects.

This patch cord is designed for horizontal and equipment-bay connections in structured cabling systems. Its compact 18-inch length is common in high-density rack environments where excess cable length creates congestion and airflow problems. It is appropriate for residential and commercial installations where CAT6 performance is specified and a riser-rated cable jacket satisfies local code.

Key Features

• CMR (riser) jacket rating meets NEC Article 800 riser application requirements
• B10GX-series construction for CAT6 performance standards
• 18-inch length minimizes cable clutter in high-density rack and patch-panel installations
• Light green jacket color supports color-coded cable management schemes
• Sold individually, one patch cord per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock patch cord for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling installations using standard RJ45 terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified low-voltage cabling technicians in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. Verify that the CMR jacket rating meets the requirements of the specific pathway before installation — substitute a CMP-rated cable if the run passes through an air-handling plenum. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, and avoid sharp staples or tie-wrap overtightening that can deform the jacket and degrade signal performance.
