Belden Inc. CA31206020 CAT6 Cmr Pigtail Cable Blue 20 in

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA31206020 is a CAT6 pigtail-style patch cable rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) environments and finished in blue jacket coloring. At 20 inches in length, this pre-terminated pigtail is designed for structured cabling installations where short, flexible runs are needed to terminate at patch panels, keystone jacks, or network equipment. It supports 10GX performance, meaning it is engineered to handle 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications where signal integrity and crosstalk control are critical. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this type of component.

This pigtail cable is suited for riser-rated installations inside commercial and residential buildings where cables must pass between floors through vertical shafts. The CMR rating meets fire code requirements for riser applications. The 20-inch length makes it practical for tight patch panel bays, server rack cable management, and consolidation point connections where longer patch cables would create excess bulk. Blue jacket color supports standard color-coding practices in structured cabling environments.

Key Features

• 10GX performance rating for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• CMR riser-rated jacket for vertical in-building installations
• 20-inch length designed for short-run patch panel and rack connections
• Blue jacket color supports color-coded cabling schemes
• Pre-terminated pigtail format for fast, consistent terminations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install component for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems requiring CMR-rated riser patch cables.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling technician or qualified network installer familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure the cable route complies with local fire codes and building codes governing riser-rated cabling. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not cinch cable ties so tightly that the jacket deforms, as this can degrade signal performance. Power down active equipment at the relevant ports before connecting or disconnecting patch cables where possible.
