Belden Inc. CAF1209050 CAT6 Patch Cable Cmr White 50 Feet

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1209050 is a CAT6 patch cable wired to the T568A standard, rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) for in-wall and riser-space routing. At 50 feet in length, this cable is suited for longer horizontal runs between network equipment, patch panels, and structured wiring enclosures. The CMR rating meets riser fire-resistance requirements, making it appropriate for routing between floors in commercial and residential structured cabling installations. Network technicians and low-voltage installers rely on this cable for reliable Gigabit and 10GBase-T connections in organized cabling systems.

This patch cable is used in commercial and residential network installations where longer runs are needed between switches, routers, patch panels, and end devices. The T568A wiring configuration is commonly specified in government and certain commercial structured cabling standards. At 50 feet, it covers runs that shorter patch cables cannot reach without an additional coupler or extension. The white jacket color aids in cable identification and organization in high-density installations.

Key Features

• T568A wiring standard for compatibility with T568A-terminated jacks and panels
• CMR (Riser) fire rating suitable for in-wall and between-floor routing
• 50-foot length accommodates longer horizontal runs without additional couplers
• White jacket for easy color-coded cable management in dense installations
• CAT6 performance supporting Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-T applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style CAT6 patch cable for use with T568A-wired keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches in standard structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers should follow TIA-568 and local building codes when routing CMR-rated cable through riser pathways and wall cavities. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius and do not staple through the cable jacket, as both can degrade signal performance. Verify that termination hardware is also rated CAT6 to maintain full channel performance. De-energize connected network equipment before making or breaking connections at patch panels or switches.
