Belden Inc. CAD1106007 Cat6a Patch Cable 28 Awg Cmr

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAD1106007 is a Cat6A patch cable rated for CMR (riser) environments, built with 28 AWG conductors and finished in blue. It delivers the high-frequency bandwidth required for 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications over copper structured cabling systems. At 7 feet in length, it is well suited for short equipment-to-switch or patch-panel-to-device runs. This cable is installed by low-voltage technicians, network cabling contractors, and IT infrastructure professionals working in commercial and enterprise environments where riser-rated cabling is required by code.

This patch cable is designed for use in structured cabling installations where Cat6A performance and CMR fire rating are required. Typical applications include data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and commercial office environments. The 7-foot length suits horizontal patch runs between wall jacks and workstation equipment or between patch panels and active switching hardware. Its slim 28 AWG build helps manage cable density in high-port-count rack environments.

Key Features

• Cat6A performance rating supporting 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 28 AWG conductor gauge for reduced cable diameter and improved bend radius in dense installations
• CMR (riser) fire rating meets building code requirements for vertical riser runs and commercial installations
• Blue jacket color for easy visual identification and cable management
• 7-foot length suited for short patch runs in racks, closets, and workstation connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with Cat6A-rated jacks, keystone modules, and patch panels in standard structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or qualified network cabling professionals. Verify that all termination hardware, jacks, and patch panels are rated Cat6A or higher before installation. CMR-rated cables must be used in riser applications per NEC Article 800 requirements. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity.
