Belden Inc. CAF1100045 CAT6 Patch Cable Cmr 45 Ft Black

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1100045 is a CAT6 patch cable rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) applications, finished in black. Designed for structured cabling installations, this cable connects network equipment such as patch panels, switches, and routers in commercial and residential environments. The CMR rating makes it suitable for vertical runs between floors in riser pathways where fire-spread resistance is required. At 45 feet in length, it accommodates longer horizontal or vertical runs without the need for couplers or extensions. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the typical installers for this type of patch cable.

This cable is intended for CAT6 or CAT6E network infrastructure, commonly found in commercial office buildouts, data centers, and structured wiring installations. It is sold individually and suited for runs where standard-length patch cables fall short. The CMR jacket rating makes it appropriate for in-wall and riser routing per applicable building and cabling codes.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications
• CMR-rated jacket meets riser fire-spread requirements for vertical in-building runs
• 45-foot length handles longer cable runs without the need for inline couplers
• Black jacket for easy identification and cable management in high-density environments
• Sold individually, one cable per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use patch cable for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling infrastructure, compatible with standard RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or communications cabling technicians. Riser-rated cables must be routed through approved riser shafts or conduit pathways per applicable building codes such as NFPA 70 (NEC). Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Verify jack and panel port compatibility before routing to avoid unnecessary re-pulls.
