Belden Inc. CAD1109022 Cat6a Patch Cable 28AWG Cmr White

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAD1109022 is a Cat6a patch cable rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) environments. Constructed with 28 AWG conductors, this cable is designed for high-speed structured cabling installations where riser-rated performance is required. At 22 inches in length, it is well suited for short patch runs in data centers, server rooms, and network closets. Cat6a supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 500 MHz bandwidth, making it a practical choice for high-density switching environments. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the typical installers of this cable type.

This patch cable is appropriate for use in riser-rated commercial and residential structured cabling systems. The CMR rating allows the cable to be run vertically between floors through designated riser pathways without requiring plenum-rated substitution in those zones. Its 22-inch length makes it ideal for rack-to-rack or patch panel-to-switch connections within a single cabinet or closely spaced equipment. Each unit is sold individually.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance supporting 10GbE and up to 500 MHz bandwidth
• CMR riser rating for vertical pathway installations
• 28 AWG conductor gauge for flexible, low-profile routing
• 22-inch length suited for short in-cabinet patch runs
• White jacket for color-coded cable plant organization

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Cat6a patch cable for use with standard RJ45 Cat6a-rated patch panels, switches, and network interface equipment in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with applicable NEC articles governing communications wiring. Verify that the riser pathway is clear and meets local building code requirements before routing. Do not exceed the cable's minimum bend radius during installation, as excessive bending can degrade high-frequency signal performance. Power down connected equipment before inserting or removing patch cables from active ports when possible.
