Belden Inc. CAF1104013 CAT6 Patch Cable Cmr Yellow 13 Feet

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1104013 is a CAT6 patch cable rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) and finished in a yellow jacket for easy visual identification. Designed for structured network cabling installations, this patchcord spans 13 feet and is suited for runs between patch panels, switches, and network equipment in riser-rated environments. CMR-rated cables meet fire safety requirements for vertical runs between floors, making this cable appropriate for commercial and light industrial network infrastructure. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the typical installers.

This patch cable is used in horizontal and riser network cabling applications across commercial offices, data closets, and multi-floor installations. At 13 feet, it covers mid-range runs between wall jacks, patch panels, and active network equipment. The yellow jacket aids in port-level cable management and color-coding schemes. It sells as a single unit and is classified under CAT6/6E patch cables for procurement and inventory purposes.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and licensed electricians typically install riser-rated patch cables in compliance with NEC Article 800 requirements for communications wiring. Verify that the cable pathway is rated for CMR cables before installation in vertical or riser runs. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable, and avoid bundling with high-voltage conductors without proper separation. Power down or disable active ports on switches and patch panels before seating or removing patch cables to prevent interface errors.
