Belden Inc. CAF1102004 CAT6 Patch Cable Red 4 in

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1102004 is a CAT6 patch cable finished in red, sold as a single unit. Patch cables of this type carry structured network data signals between network equipment such as switches, patch panels, routers, and wall jacks. The CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating indicates the jacket is rated for riser-floor applications where the cable passes vertically between floors inside a building, meeting flame-spread requirements for that installation environment. At 4 inches in length, this is a short-run cord suited for tight equipment rack or panel connections.

This patch cable is designed for use in structured cabling installations in commercial and residential settings. Its short length makes it well suited for patch panel to switch connections in server rooms, data closets, and telecommunications rooms where cable management and clean routing are priorities. The red jacket color is commonly used in color-coded cable management systems to designate specific network segments, VLANs, or circuit types according to a site-specific color scheme.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by structured cabling technicians or licensed low-voltage contractors in accordance with applicable codes such as ANSI/TIA-568 and the NEC. Verify that the destination ports and patch panel jacks are rated for CAT6 before installation. Avoid sharp bends at the connector boot that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Power down or log out of managed equipment where appropriate before repatching active network connections.
