Belden Inc. CAF1106030 CAT6 Patch Cable Cmr Blue 30ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1106030 is a CAT6 patch cable rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) and finished in blue, measuring 30 feet in length. CMR-rated cables meet UL 444 and NFPA 70 riser requirements, making them suitable for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings. This cable is used to connect network equipment such as switches, patch panels, routers, and end-user devices. It ships as a single cable unit and is part of the B10GXF series, designed to support 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance over short structured-cabling runs.

This patch cable is suited for structured cabling installations in commercial office environments, data centers, server rooms, and multi-story residential or light commercial buildings where riser-rated cabling is required by code. At 30 feet, it covers longer rack-to-rack or panel-to-equipment runs that standard short patch cords do not accommodate. Network technicians and low-voltage electricians are the typical installing trades.

Key Features

• CMR (Riser) fire rating meets NEC requirements for vertical cable runs between floors
• CAT6 performance supports Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications over short distances
• Blue jacket color aids in cable identification and plant documentation
• 30-foot length suits longer intra-rack, panel-to-switch, or cross-room horizontal runs
• B10GXF series construction built to BELDEN INC. structured cabling standards
• Sold individually (each) for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard structured-cabling patch cord for CAT6 and CAT6E network installations using RJ45-terminated horizontal cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and NEC Article 800 requirements for communications cables. Verify the riser rating is appropriate for the pathway before installing; plenum-rated cable (CMP) is required in air-handling spaces and cannot be substituted with CMR. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the cable minimum bend radius, and do not route alongside high-voltage conductors without adequate separation. No special tools beyond standard patch cable management hardware are required.
