Belden Inc. CAD1105022 Cat6a Patch Cable 28AWG Cmr Green

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAD1105022 is a Cat6a patch cable constructed with 28 AWG conductors and a CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) jacket rating. Designed for structured cabling environments, this cable supports high-speed network connections at Category 6A performance levels, which handle data transmission up to 10 Gbps at 500 MHz. At 22 inches in length with a green jacket for easy identification, it suits short rack-to-rack or panel-to-device runs. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary trades that specify and terminate this cable in commercial and residential structured cabling systems.

This patch cable is suited for use in riser-rated building installations where cables must pass between floors through vertical shafts. The CMR rating meets fire code requirements for riser applications without requiring plenum-rated cable. At 22 inches, it works well in high-density patch panel environments, telecommunications rooms, and server rack installations where short, managed jumper runs are needed to reduce cable clutter and maintain airflow.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance supporting 10 Gbps data rates at 500 MHz bandwidth
• 28 AWG conductors for a slim, flexible form factor suited to dense patch environments
• CMR riser jacket rating meets fire and building code requirements for vertical cable runs
• Green jacket color provides straightforward visual identification in multi-cable installations
• 22-inch length designed for short, organized jumper runs in patch panels and rack equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard Cat6a patch cable for use with Cat6a or backward-compatible Cat6 and Cat5e patch panels, switches, and network interface equipment in riser-rated structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and structured cabling installers handle termination and routing of this cable type. Follow ANSI/TIA-568 standards for Cat6a cabling installations, including bend radius and bundling requirements. Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or over-cinching cable ties, as these can degrade signal performance at 10 Gbps speeds. Verify that connecting hardware is rated Cat6a to maintain full channel performance.
