Belden Inc. CAD1108024 Cat6a Patch Cable 28AWG Cmr Gray

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAD1108024 is a Category 6A patch cable designed for structured network cabling installations. Built to 28 AWG construction and rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser), this patch cable supports high-speed data transmission in environments where riser-rated cabling is required by code. At 24 inches in length, it suits short-run connections between adjacent network equipment. Licensed low-voltage technicians and IT infrastructure installers commonly deploy this cable in data rooms, telecommunications closets, and equipment racks.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and riser pathway applications in commercial and light commercial environments. The 24-inch length is a common choice for structured cabling within patch panels, switches, and network distribution frames where clean, short cable runs are needed. The CMR rating makes it appropriate for vertical shaft and riser installations per applicable building codes.

Key Features

• Cat6A performance supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 28 AWG conductor gauge for a slim, flexible cable form factor
• CMR (Riser) flame rating suitable for vertical cable runs between floors
• 24-inch length ideal for patch panel to switch connections in equipment racks
• Gray jacket for standard color-coded network infrastructure identification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cable for Cat6A-rated patch panels, switches, and network ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Verify that the riser pathway meets local fire and building code requirements before running CMR-rated cable. Avoid sharp bends or kinking, as exceeding the minimum bend radius can degrade Cat6A signal performance. De-energize connected equipment before seating or removing patch cables from active switch ports or patch panels.
