Belden Inc. CAD1105008 Cat6a Patch Cable 28AWG Cmr

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAD1105008 is a Cat6a patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Built with 28 AWG conductors and rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser), it meets riser-rated fire resistance requirements for vertical runs between floors. At 8 inches in length, this cable is suited for short-run connections in high-density patch panel installations and equipment racks where cable management and minimal slack are priorities. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network infrastructure installers are the primary trade users for this type of cable.

This Cat6a patch cable is intended for use in structured cabling systems that require riser-rated components. The 8-inch length and green jacket color make it practical for organized, color-coded patch panel environments in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and commercial office buildouts. It ships as a single unit (sold each) and is categorized under Cat6 and Cat6a patch cables.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance standard supporting high-speed data transmission
• 28 AWG conductor gauge for a slim, flexible cable profile suitable for dense installations
• CMR riser rating meets fire resistance standards for vertical cable runs
• Green jacket for color-coded cable organization in patch panel environments
• 8-inch length ideal for short-run rack and patch panel connections
• Sold individually for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or network cabling professional familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Verify that all patch panel ports and network equipment are powered appropriately before making or breaking live connections. Riser-rated cables must be installed in accordance with NEC Article 800 requirements for communications cabling in riser applications. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling tension, which can degrade Cat6a performance.
