Belden Inc. CA22106007 Cat6a Patch Cable Blue 7ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA22106007 is a Category 6A (Cat6A) CMP-rated patch cable in blue, measuring 7 feet in length. CMP, or Communications Multipurpose Cable Plenum, indicates the cable meets plenum-space fire and smoke requirements, making it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces above drop ceilings or within raised floors. This patch cable is built for structured cabling systems where 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance is required. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers. The B10GX designation references Belden's 10GX platform, engineered to support 10G data transmission in commercial and enterprise environments.

This patch cable is used in commercial and enterprise network installations, data centers, server rooms, and office environments where plenum-rated cabling is required by fire code. It is suited for horizontal runs terminated at patch panels, switches, and network equipment. The 7-foot length fits typical rack-to-equipment and panel-to-switch connections. Applications include structured cabling upgrades, new installations, and direct equipment connections where Cat6A performance is specified by the network design.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers typically handle Cat6A patch cable deployment. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are powered down or that ESD precautions are followed before seating connectors in sensitive equipment. Follow local fire codes and TIA-568 standards when routing cables through plenum spaces. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing to maintain signal integrity.
