Belden Inc. CAF1102009 CAT6 Patch Cable Cmr Red

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1102009 is a CAT6 patch cable rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) environments, designed for structured wiring installations in commercial and residential buildings. At 9 inches in length, this short-run cable is suited for high-density patch panel and switch applications where tight cable management is required. The red jacket color aids in visual identification of network segments or cable types on a rack or panel. Licensed low-voltage and data cabling technicians are the primary installers for this type of cable.

This patch cable fits within CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems. Its 9-inch length makes it especially useful in equipment rooms, server racks, and telecommunications closets where port-to-port runs are short and excess cable would create clutter. The CMR riser rating means it meets fire-resistance requirements for vertical runs between floors in commercial building installations.

Key Features

• CMR (Riser) fire rating meets requirements for vertical cable runs between building floors
• CAT6 performance supports data transmission for modern network equipment
• 9-inch length designed for short patch panel and switch port connections
• Red jacket enables color-coded cable identification in high-density installations
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use patch cable for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 terminations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage data cabling technicians typically install CAT6 patch cables in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. No special tools beyond a patch panel or switch with RJ45 ports are required for connection. Ensure the network equipment is powered down or that the port is disabled before insertion when working in live racks to avoid unintended network disruption. Verify the CMR riser rating meets local building code requirements for the specific installation environment before routing.
