Belden Inc. CA32306050 Cat6 Patch Cable Blue 50 Foot

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA32306050 is a Category 6 plenum-rated pigtail patch cable finished in blue and measuring 50 feet in length. Designed for structured cabling installations, this cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet transmission and carries a CMP (plenum) jacket rating, making it suitable for air-handling spaces where fire and smoke propagation standards must be met. Licensed low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure installers typically handle this type of run in commercial, institutional, and high-density residential environments. The plenum jacket meets strict NEC Article 800 requirements for use in air plenums and raised-floor air return spaces.

This patch cable is used in horizontal or backbone cabling runs within structured wiring systems supporting 10GBase-T and standard Gigabit Ethernet applications. Its 50-foot length suits medium-distance drops between telecommunications rooms and work area outlets. The blue jacket color aids with cable plant organization and visual identification in patch panels and data closets. Network technicians and low-voltage contractors install this cable in commercial office builds, data centers, healthcare facilities, and education campuses.

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit cable for Cat6 structured cabling systems using RJ45 patch panels, network switches, and wall jacks conforming to TIA-568 wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling technician or qualified network infrastructure contractor. Follow NEC Article 800 requirements when routing cable through plenum air-handling spaces, and do not exceed the minimum bend radius for Cat6 cable. Avoid routing alongside high-voltage conductors to prevent interference. Confirm all patch panel and port terminations are properly seated before testing with a cable certification tool.
