Belden Inc. CAF1106008A06 CAT6 Patch Cable Harness Cmr Blue

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1106008A06 is a 6-position CAT6 patch cable harness rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) applications. This harness bundles multiple CAT6 patch cables into a single organized assembly, simplifying structured cabling installations in commercial and residential environments. At 8 feet in length and finished in blue, it provides clear visual identification in high-density patch panels and distribution frames. Network installers and low-voltage technicians rely on this type of harness to reduce cable management complexity and maintain signal integrity across Cat6-rated runs.

This harness is suited for use in riser-rated environments where cables pass between floors through vertical shafts or conduit. The CMR rating meets fire resistance requirements for riser applications without requiring plenum-rated materials, making it a practical choice for standard vertical runs in commercial buildings, server rooms, and structured wiring closets. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for new installations as well as organized retrofit work in existing patch environments.

Key Features

• 6-position harness design for organized multi-port patch cable deployment
• CAT6 performance supporting high-speed data transmission
• CMR (Riser) fire rating suitable for vertical cable runs between floors
• Blue jacket color for easy circuit identification in dense patch environments
• 8-foot length provides flexible reach between patch panels and active equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install harness for CAT6 and CAT6E patch panel environments in riser-rated structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends or excessive tension during routing, as exceeding the minimum bend radius can degrade CAT6 performance. Verify that the CMR rating is appropriate for the installation pathway before routing; plenum-rated cable is required in air-handling spaces. Disconnect or power down active network equipment at the relevant ports before connecting or disconnecting patch cables.
