Belden Inc. CAF1209030 Cat6 Patch Cable Cmr 30 Ft White

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1209030 is a Cat6 patch cable rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) and finished in white. Wired to the T568A standard, this cable is built for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential environments where riser-rated runs are required between floors or through vertical pathways. At 30 feet in length, it suits longer horizontal runs within telecom rooms, server closets, and data distribution points. Installers rely on Cat6 CMR-rated cables to meet both performance and fire-code requirements in riser applications without pulling plenum-grade cable where it is not required.

This cable fits into any installation that calls for Cat6 connectivity — network switches, patch panels, routers, VoIP equipment, and structured cabling systems in office buildings, schools, and multi-tenant facilities. The T568A wiring configuration makes it compatible with T568A-terminated jacks and panels. It ships as a single unit (each) and is categorized under Cat6 and Cat6E patch cables for procurement purposes.

Key Features

• CMR riser rating meets fire-code requirements for vertical cable runs between floors
• T568A wiring standard for compatibility with T568A-terminated infrastructure
• 30-foot length accommodates longer patch and cross-connect runs
• White jacket finish for color-coded cable management
• Cat6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and beyond

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cable for Cat6 and Cat6E structured cabling systems using T568A-terminated patch panels and keystones.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by network cabling technicians or low-voltage electricians. Verify that the patch panel and jack terminations are also wired to the T568A standard before deploying this cable — mixing T568A and T568B ends on the same link will cause wiring faults. CMR-rated cable must not be substituted for CMP (plenum) cable in plenum air-handling spaces; confirm the pathway classification before installation. Follow TIA-568 standards for bend radius and pulling tension to avoid degrading cable performance.
