Belden Inc. CAD1109019 Cat6a Patch Cable 28AWG Cmr

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAD1109019 is a Cat6a patch cable rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) environments. It is constructed with 28AWG conductors and measures 19 inches in length. Cat6a cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it a reliable choice for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential settings. This cable is finished in white and is sold as a single unit. It is typically installed by low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals working on patch panel terminations and equipment connections.

This patch cable is suited for use in riser-rated installations where cables must run between floors through vertical shafts. The 19-inch length fits short runs common in server racks, patch panels, and network closets. Its CMR rating means it meets fire-resistance requirements for riser applications per applicable building and fire codes. The compact 28AWG gauge reduces bulk in dense rack environments without sacrificing Cat6a performance standards.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 500 MHz
• 28AWG conductor gauge reduces cable bulk in high-density rack installations
• CMR (Riser) fire rating suitable for vertical shaft and between-floor runs
• 19-inch length designed for short patch panel and equipment connections
• White jacket for easy color-coded cable management
• Sold individually as a single cable unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cable for Cat6a structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 patch panels, switches, and network interface equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure patch panels and ports are powered down or free of live Ethernet connections before seating or removing cables in sensitive switching equipment. Avoid sharp bends below the cable minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. CMR-rated cables must be installed in compliance with applicable local building and fire codes governing riser pathways.
