Belden Inc. CAD1104011 Cat6a Patch Cable 28 Awg Cmr

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAD1104011 is a Cat6A patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Built to Cat6A performance standards, this cable supports high-speed data transmission and is constructed with 28 AWG conductors for a slim, flexible form factor. The CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating qualifies it for riser-rated pathways between floors, meeting fire-resistance requirements for vertical runs inside building walls. Network technicians and low-voltage installers reach for this cable when terminating patch panels, switches, and networked equipment in telecommunications rooms and server closets.

This cable is suited for Cat6A horizontal and cross-connect applications in structured cabling systems. The 11-foot length covers common rack-to-rack and panel-to-switch distances without excess slack. The 28 AWG gauge keeps the cable lightweight and manageable in high-density environments where bundle routing and airflow management are priorities. It ships as a single unit and is appropriate for use in commercial IT infrastructure, data centers, and enterprise network installations.

Key Features

• Cat6A performance rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 28 AWG conductor gauge provides a slim, flexible cable body for dense installations
• CMR riser rating meets fire-resistance requirements for vertical building runs
• Yellow jacket for color-coded cable management and identification
• 11-foot length suits standard rack and panel patching distances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with Cat6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in riser-rated structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers handle this cable under ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure all patch panel ports and switch interfaces are Cat6A rated to maintain full channel performance. Avoid sharp bends beyond the minimum bend radius and do not cinch cable ties tightly, as both can degrade signal integrity. No power shutdown is required for patch cable replacement, but follow site-specific network change management procedures before swapping active links.
