Belden Inc. CAD1104019 Cat6a Patch Cable 28 Awg Cmr

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAD1104019 is a Cat6a patch cable rated for CMR (riser) environments and built with 28 AWG conductors. Designed for high-speed data networking applications, this cable meets Category 6A performance standards, supporting 10-Gigabit Ethernet and bandwidth up to 500 MHz. At 19 inches in length, it is well suited for short runs inside server racks, patch panels, and structured cabling enclosures. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers. The yellow jacket provides quick visual identification in dense rack environments.

This patch cable is intended for use in commercial and residential network infrastructure where riser-rated cabling is required. The CMR rating makes it appropriate for vertical runs between floors and for use inside building risers where plenum rating is not mandated. Typical applications include data center rack-to-rack connections, patch panel terminations, and switch-to-device links in structured cabling systems. The 19-inch length targets tight, high-density installations where standard 1-foot or 3-foot cables would introduce unnecessary slack.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance standard supporting 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 28 AWG conductors for reduced bulk and improved bend radius in dense installations
• CMR (riser) jacket rating suitable for vertical building runs
• 19-inch length designed for short, high-density rack and panel connections
• Yellow jacket for fast visual identification in multi-cable environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-issue Cat6a patch cable compatible with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches or routers equipped with Cat6a or Cat6 RJ45 ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or electricians in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local codes. Verify that the CMR rating meets the requirements of the installation location before routing; plenum-rated cable is required in air-handling spaces. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius for 28 AWG Cat6a cable, as this can degrade signal performance. Inspect RJ45 connectors and port clips before seating to ensure a secure, positive lock.
