Belden Inc. CAF1107014 CAT6 Patch Cord Cmr 14 in Purple

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1107014 is a Category 6 patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Built to CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating standards, this patch cord is suitable for use in riser pathways between floors where fire spread resistance is required by code. At 14 inches in length, it is well suited for short runs in high-density patch panel installations, server racks, and equipment cabinets. The purple jacket provides easy visual identification in busy cabling environments. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary trades working with this cable.

This patch cord is used in CAT6 and CAT6E structured wiring systems in commercial office buildings, data centers, telecommunications rooms, and riser pathways. Its compact 14-inch length makes it a practical choice for connecting adjacent ports in patch panels or between nearby rack-mounted equipment where cable management space is limited. The CMR rating meets riser installation requirements under applicable fire and building codes, making it appropriate for vertical cable runs in multi-story buildings.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance rating for high-speed network data transmission
• CMR (Riser) flame rating suitable for vertical cable runs between floors
• 14-inch length ideal for short patch panel and rack connections
• Purple jacket for quick visual identification in dense cabling environments
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cable for CAT6 and CAT6E patch panel and network switch installations requiring CMR-rated riser cable.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. Verify that the riser pathway and enclosure meet local fire code requirements before routing CMR-rated cable. Do not use CMR-rated cable in plenum air-handling spaces, which require CMP-rated cable per applicable codes. Inspect connectors at both ends before seating to avoid bent pins or signal degradation.
