Belden Inc. CAF2100033 CAT6 Patch Cord 33 Ft Black Cmp

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF2100033 is a CAT6 patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial environments. This 33-foot cable carries a CMP (plenum) rating, making it suitable for use in air-handling spaces where fire and smoke propagation standards apply. The black jacket provides easy identification in high-density patch panel environments. Licensed low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure installers are the primary trade installing this type of patch cord. It is sold as a single unit and is built to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance specifications consistent with the B10GXF series designation.

This patch cord is used in commercial data centers, office structured cabling systems, and plenum-rated cable runs where air-handling space compliance is required by local building codes. The CMP rating satisfies the National Electrical Code requirements for cables routed through plenum spaces. At 33 feet, it accommodates longer horizontal runs between patch panels and active equipment within telecommunications rooms or equipment racks.

Key Features

• CMP plenum rating suitable for air-handling space installations per NEC requirements
• CAT6 performance supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 33-foot length for longer patch panel to equipment runs
• Black jacket for identification in dense cabling environments
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CAT6 patch cord replacement or new installation component for use with CAT6 patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling technician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and local NEC requirements for plenum-rated cabling. Verify that the cable pathway qualifies as a plenum space before substituting a non-CMP cable. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not exceed the cable tension limits during pulling. De-energize active equipment ports before seating or removing patch cord connectors where possible.
