Belden Inc. CA21208015 CAT6 Pigtail Patch Cable Cmr Gray

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21208015 is a CAT6 pigtail-style patch cable finished in gray with a CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating. CMR-rated cables meet fire-resistance requirements for installation in vertical runs between floors and in riser spaces, making this cable code-appropriate for commercial and residential structured wiring applications. At 15 inches in length, this pigtail is intended for short, high-density runs such as patch panel terminations, rack connections, or equipment-side jumpers. Electricians and low-voltage technicians handling data infrastructure work are the primary installers.

This cable is suited for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling installations in both commercial and residential environments. Its compact 15-inch length makes it a practical choice for patch panel fields, telecommunications rooms, server racks, and other high-density wiring scenarios where cable management space is limited. The gray jacket color aids in visual identification and organization within multi-cable installations.

Key Features

• CMR riser-rated jacket meets fire-resistance code requirements for vertical and riser installations

• Single-unit packaging for targeted replacement or small-scale deployment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit option for CAT6 and CAT6E patch panel and structured cabling systems requiring CMR-rated riser cable assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for CMR-rated cables. Power down or disable active network equipment before connecting or disconnecting patch cables in live racks. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius, as deformation of the cable geometry can degrade signal performance. Verify that the connected patch panel or keystone jacks are rated for CAT6 to maintain full channel performance.
