Belden Inc. CA21117003 CAT6 Patch Cord Cmr 3 Ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21117003 is a Category 6 patch cord rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) and designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential environments. This patchcord is part of the B10GX series, engineered to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications over horizontal copper runs. CMR-rated jacket material meets riser fire-resistance requirements, making it suitable for installation in building risers and vertical pathways between floors. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers use this cord to terminate equipment connections at patch panels, switches, routers, and wall jacks.

This patch cord is suited for data center, commercial office, and structured wiring closet applications where CAT6 or CAT6E performance is required. The 3-foot length is a common choice for short equipment-to-panel runs in server racks and network cabinets. It is sold as an individual unit and is appropriate for any installation where a riser-rated CAT6 patch cable is specified by the network or low-voltage cabling design.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling technician or qualified network installer in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or place network equipment in a maintenance state before disconnecting active patch connections to avoid network disruption. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing through conduit or cable management trays. CMR-rated cables must not be substituted for CMP-rated (plenum) cables in plenum air-handling spaces.
