Belden Inc. CAD1104022 Cat6a Patch Cable 28AWG Cmr Yellow

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAD1104022 is a Cat6a patch cable rated for CMR (riser) environments and built with 28 AWG conductors. Cat6a cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance with reduced crosstalk compared to standard Cat6. This cable measures 22 inches in length and is finished in yellow for easy visual identification in patch panels and structured wiring installations. It is sold as a single unit and is suited for installation by low-voltage cabling technicians, IT infrastructure professionals, and licensed electricians working on structured network systems.

This patch cable is designed for use in riser-rated commercial and residential structured cabling installations where a short, flexible jumper is needed between patch panels, switches, and network equipment. The 22-inch length makes it practical for high-density rack environments where cable management space is limited. Yellow jacket color aids in color-coded network documentation and fast visual circuit identification during maintenance and troubleshooting.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and reduced alien crosstalk
• 28 AWG conductors keep the cable flexible and lightweight in dense rack environments
22-inch length suited for short patch panel to switch connections
• CMR riser rating meets code requirements for vertical runs between floors
• Yellow jacket for color-coded network organization and visual circuit ID
• Sold as individual unit for precise quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard jumper for Cat6a structured cabling systems using RJ45 patch panels, network switches, and Cat6a keystone jack assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician in accordance with local codes and ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or disconnect active network equipment before inserting or removing patch cables to prevent signal disruption. Avoid sharp bends below the cable minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. CMR-rated cables are approved for riser pathways but are not a substitute for plenum-rated (CMP) cable in air-handling spaces.
