Belden Inc. CAF1206100 Cat6 Patch Cable Cmr Blue 100 Ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1206100 is a Cat6 patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and light industrial environments. Wired to the T568A standard, this cable delivers reliable Gigabit and 10GBase-T Ethernet connectivity across horizontal and backbone runs. The CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating qualifies it for installation in building risers and between floors where flame-spread performance is required. The blue jacket aids in visual identification and color-coded cable management. This cable ships as a single unit and is a go-to choice for low-voltage technicians and structured cabling contractors completing Cat6 infrastructure work.

This patch cable is suited for commercial and residential network installations where a riser-rated Cat6 connection is required. Typical applications include patch panel to switch runs, workstation drops, and inter-floor data routing in telecom rooms and equipment closets. Its T568A wiring standard makes it compatible with T568A-terminated jacks and panels throughout a structured cabling system. Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers handling TIA-568 compliant Cat6 deployments will find this cable appropriate for standard horizontal and riser pathway use.

Key Features

• T568A wiring standard for compatibility with T568A-terminated infrastructure
• CMR (Riser) jacket rating for between-floor and vertical pathway installations
• Cat6 performance supporting Gigabit and 10GBase-T Ethernet applications
• Blue jacket for easy visual identification and color-coded cable management
• Single-unit quantity for precise inventory and project management

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Cat6 riser patch cable compatible with T568A-wired patch panels, keystone jacks, and Ethernet switches in TIA-568 compliant structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 standards and applicable local codes. Ensure riser pathways are properly firestopped after cable routing per applicable building and fire codes. Avoid sharp bends or exceeding the cable minimum bend radius during installation, and do not staple or over-cinch cable ties, as either can degrade signal performance. De-energize connected network equipment before terminating or disconnecting patch cable runs.
