Belden Inc. CAF1105018 CAT6 Patch Cable Cmr Green

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1105018 is a CAT6 copper patch cable rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) and finished in green for easy circuit identification. Measuring 18 feet in length, it is designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise environments where riser-rated cabling is required by code. This cable carries network data signals between patch panels, switches, and end-user equipment. Network technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary trades that work with this cable in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and vertical riser pathways inside commercial buildings, data centers, and enterprise network closets. Its CMR rating makes it acceptable for use in plenum-adjacent riser runs where CMP is not specifically required. The green jacket color is commonly used to designate a specific VLAN, circuit type, or zone in color-coded patch environments, helping technicians trace and manage dense patch field installations quickly.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance supporting Gigabit Ethernet and standard 10/100/1000BASE-T applications
• CMR riser rating meets NEC Article 800 requirements for vertical cable runs between floors
• Green jacket enables color-coded patch panel organization and circuit identification
• 18-foot length suits mid-distance rack-to-rack or panel-to-switch connections
• Sold individually, one cable per unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-form CAT6 patch cable compatible with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches that accept 8P8C modular connectors in structured CAT6 cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers should follow NEC Article 800 guidelines when routing riser-rated cables through vertical pathways and between floors. Power down or place affected network ports in a safe state before patching active switching equipment to avoid unintended network disruption. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius and do not over-cinch cable ties, as either condition can degrade CAT6 signal performance. Verify that riser-rated CMR cable is appropriate for the specific pathway before installation, as some jurisdictions or building sections require the higher CMP plenum rating.
