Belden Inc. CAD1104023 Cat6a Patch Cable 28AWG Cmr Yellow

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAD1104023 is a Cat6a patch cable rated for 28 AWG conductors and built to CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) standards. It measures 23 inches in length and ships in yellow jacket color for easy identification in dense patch environments. Cat6a cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making this cable a reliable structured-cabling component for data centers, telecommunications rooms, and commercial network installations. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this product.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and riser runs within commercial and enterprise network environments where Cat6a performance is required. The CMR rating qualifies it for use in riser spaces between floors. The 23-inch length makes it appropriate for short interconnects at patch panels, switches, and structured-cabling distribution points. The yellow jacket aids in visual circuit identification and cable management in high-density installations.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth
• 28 AWG conductor gauge for a slim, flexible form factor
• CMR riser-rated jacket suitable for vertical between-floor pathways
• 23-inch length designed for short patch panel and switch interconnects
• Yellow jacket color for visual identification in dense cable environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6a patch cable compatible with Cat6a and Cat6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 switch ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or disconnect active equipment at the port before seating or removing patch cables to avoid data disruption. Do not exceed the cable bend radius minimum during routing, as sharp bends can degrade signal performance on Cat6a installations. CMR-rated cable must be installed only in permitted riser or horizontal pathways and is not rated as a plenum substitute.
