Belden Inc. CAF1109018 CAT6 Patch Cable Cmr 18ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1109018 is a CAT6 patch cable rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) and finished in white, with an 18-foot overall length. CMR-rated cables meet riser-fire-resistance requirements, making them appropriate for runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings. This cable is designed for structured cabling installations where reliable high-speed data transmission and code-compliant routing are required. Network technicians and low-voltage installers will find this cable suitable for patch panel terminations, switch connections, and workstation drops within riser pathways.

This patchcord is appropriate for use in horizontal and vertical cable runs inside building walls and riser shafts where open-air installation is required. It fits standard CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems in commercial offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and similar environments. The 18-foot length suits medium-distance connections between patch panels and active equipment in telecommunications rooms or intermediate distribution frames.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or network cabling professional. Route cables according to local building codes and TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Do not bundle riser cables with power conductors in shared conduit unless permitted by applicable NEC provisions.
