Belden Inc. CAD1104014 Cat6a Patch Cable 28AWG Cmr

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAD1104014 is a Cat6a patch cable rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) environments. Built with 28 AWG conductors and finished in yellow jacket for easy identification, this cable is designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. At 14 inches in length, it is suited for short patch runs in high-density switch panels, server racks, and patch bays. Electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians install this cable as part of Cat6a network infrastructure supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications.

This patch cable is appropriate for riser-rated installations where cables must pass between floors without being routed through air-handling spaces. The 14-inch length makes it a common choice for cable management in 1U and 2U rack environments where adjacent port-to-port connections require a short, controlled run. Yellow jacket color aids in circuit identification and color-coded documentation schemes used in structured cabling systems.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance rating supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• 28 AWG conductor gauge for reduced bulk in high-density installations
• CMR (Riser) flame rating for vertical cable runs between floors
• Yellow jacket for visual circuit identification
• 14-inch length suited for short patch and rack-to-rack connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cable for Cat6a-rated patch panels, switches, and network jacks in riser-rated structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. CMR-rated cables are approved for riser applications but must not be substituted for plenum-rated (CMP) cables in air-handling spaces. Do not exceed the cable's minimum bend radius during routing, as excessive bending can degrade signal performance in Cat6a assemblies.
