Belden Inc. CAF1205040 CAT6 Patch Cable Cmr Green 40 Feet

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1205040 is a CAT6 patch cable configured to the T568A wiring standard and rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) for use in riser-rated building pathways between floors. This cable ships in a 40-foot length and is sold as a single unit. CMR-rated jacketing meets the requirements for installation in vertical runs where fire-spread resistance is required by code. Network technicians and low-voltage installers deploy this cable to connect equipment within structured cabling systems, patch panels, switches, and other network infrastructure in commercial and residential environments.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and riser runs in structured cabling installations that require CAT6 performance. The T568A termination standard is commonly specified in government and educational facilities as well as installations that must interoperate with existing T568A-terminated outlets. The green jacket color supports color-coded cable management practices common in data centers, server rooms, and telecom closets.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance supporting Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBASE-T applications at appropriate channel lengths
• T568A wiring configuration for compatibility with T568A-terminated infrastructure
• CMR riser rating for vertical runs between building floors per applicable fire codes
• Green jacket for color-coded cable management and easy identification in patch fields
• 40-foot length provides reach for longer cross-connects and equipment room runs
• Sold as a single cable unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling patch installations requiring CMR-rated, T568A-configured patch cables.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified network cabling professional familiar with TIA-568 standards. Power down or de-energize any active equipment before connecting or disconnecting patch cables in live rack environments. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius specified for CAT6 cable to preserve signal integrity. Riser installations must comply with local building codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for CMR-rated cabling in riser pathways.
