Belden Inc. CAF1208025 CAT6 Patch Cable Cmr Gray 25 Feet

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1208025 is a CAT6 patch cable rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) environments, supplied in a 25-foot length with a gray jacket. It is terminated to the T568A wiring standard and is designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. CMR-rated cables meet riser fire-resistance requirements, making this cable suitable for vertical runs between floors. Network technicians, low-voltage contractors, and structured cabling installers use this cable to connect patch panels, switches, and end devices in data networking applications.

This patch cable is used in horizontal and riser cabling runs where CAT6 performance is required. Its T568A termination is commonly specified in government, federal, and some commercial network environments. The 25-foot length suits longer equipment room or intermediate distribution frame connections where shorter cables fall short. It ships as a single unit and is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit network infrastructure projects.

Key Features

• CAT6 rated for high-speed Ethernet data transmission
• CMR (Riser) fire resistance rating for vertical building runs
• T568A wiring standard termination
• 25-foot length for longer patch and cross-connect runs
• Gray jacket for easy visual identification and cable management

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard deployment cable for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems using T568A termination in riser-rated installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or qualified network cabling technician in accordance with applicable codes including TIA-568 and local building codes. Power down or disconnect active network equipment before seating or removing patch cable connections. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing to avoid performance degradation. Riser-rated cables must be installed in vertical shaft or riser environments as specified by the NEC.
