Belden Inc. CAF1306050 Cat6 Patch Cable Cmr Blue 50 Feet

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF1306050 is a Cat6 network patch cable rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) environments. It ships as a single 50-foot assembly terminated to the T568B wiring standard and finished in blue jacket for easy identification in structured cabling installations. CMR-rated cable meets fire propagation requirements for vertical runs between floors, making it appropriate for commercial and industrial network infrastructure where code compliance is required. This cable is installed by licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling contractors.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and riser runs in commercial buildings, data centers, server rooms, and multi-story office environments. The T568B termination standard is the most widely deployed wiring convention in North American structured cabling systems. The 50-foot length accommodates longer runs between network switches, patch panels, and endpoint devices where standard shorter patch cords are insufficient. It is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• CMR (Riser) fire rating meets NEC Article 800 requirements for vertical cable runs
• T568B termination standard for compatibility with North American structured cabling systems
• 50-foot length for extended runs between network equipment and endpoints
• Blue jacket color for straightforward cable identification and management
• Cat6 performance category for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation patch cable for Cat6 structured cabling systems using T568B-wired patch panels and keystone jacks in riser-rated environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable NEC requirements. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not over-cinch cable ties, as either condition can degrade signal performance in Cat6 assemblies. Confirm CMR rating is acceptable for the installation pathway before running cable in vertical shafts or between floors.
