Belden Inc. CAF1104001 CAT6 Patch Cable Yellow 1 Foot

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1104001 is a CAT6 patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and light industrial environments. Built to CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) flame ratings, this cable is suitable for vertical runs between floors where fire-spread resistance is required by code. The yellow jacket provides quick visual identification in densely populated patch panels and switch cabinets. At 1 foot in length, it is sized for short, clean connections between adjacent ports in telecommunications rooms and data closets.

This patch cable is used in horizontal and riser cabling infrastructure supporting data networking equipment. The short 1-foot length is typical for patch panel to switch connections in structured cabling systems. It is installed by network technicians, low-voltage cabling contractors, and electricians working within data and communications rooms in commercial buildings and multi-tenant facilities.

Key Features

• CMR (Riser) flame rating meets NEC Article 800 requirements for vertical cable runs
• CAT6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth network applications
• Yellow jacket enables color-coded cable management in patch panels and switch ports
• 1-foot length designed for tight, organized connections between adjacent equipment
• Sold as a single unit (EA) for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cable for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems using RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or electricians familiar with NEC Article 800 communications wiring requirements. Confirm the riser rating is appropriate for the cable pathway before installation — CMR-rated cable is not a substitute for CMP (plenum) cable in air-handling spaces. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius and do not over-cinch cable ties, as excessive compression can degrade signal performance in CAT6 cabling.
