Belden Inc. CA21309015 CAT6 Pigtail Patch Cable Cmr

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA21309015 is a CAT6 pigtail-style patch cable rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) and finished in white. Pigtail cables feature a pre-terminated connector on one end and an unterminated tail on the other, making them a reliable solution for structured cabling terminations where a field-terminated connection is needed. At 15 inches in length, this short-run cable is well suited for panel-side connections, patch panel builds, and distribution frame applications. Licensed low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers are the primary trade professionals working with this assembly.

This cable is designed for use in riser-rated structured cabling installations within commercial and residential buildings. Its CMR rating qualifies it for installation in vertical runs between floors where the conduit is not required to carry plenum-rated cable. Typical deployment scenarios include telecommunications rooms, server room patch panels, and structured cabling closets. The CAT6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed data applications standard in modern network infrastructure builds.

Key Features

• CMR riser rating suitable for vertical between-floor cable runs
• CAT6 specification supporting Gigabit Ethernet performance
• Pigtail format with one pre-terminated end for field termination flexibility
• White jacket finish for easy identification in color-coded cabling schemes
• Compact 15-inch length optimized for short panel-side and distribution frame runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for CAT6 structured cabling systems requiring riser-rated pigtail patch cable assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure all active network equipment connected to the run is powered down or the port is logically disabled before terminating. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius specified for CAT6 cable to maintain signal integrity. Verify that the riser pathway meets local building code requirements before routing.
