Belden Inc. CAF2100052 CAT6 Patch Cord Black 52 Feet

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF2100052 is a CAT6 patch cord rated for plenum-rated CMP applications, supplied in black with a length of 52 feet. Patch cords at this specification carry structured cabling signals between network equipment, patch panels, and active devices in data, telecom, and low-voltage distribution environments. The CMP (Communications Multipurpose Plenum) rating means the jacket compound meets stringent smoke and flame requirements for installation in air-handling plenum spaces. This cord ships as a single unit and is handled by licensed low-voltage or data cabling technicians.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal or equipment-room runs in commercial and institutional structured cabling installations where plenum-rated cable is required by local fire or building codes. A 52-foot length accommodates longer cross-connects, equipment rack-to-rack runs, or above-ceiling routing scenarios that shorter standard patch cords cannot reach. It falls within the B10GXF product family, consistent with 10-Gigabit-capable CAT6 infrastructure builds.

Key Features

• CMP plenum jacket rating meets NFPA 90A requirements for air-handling spaces
• 52-foot length suits extended equipment room and above-ceiling routing
• CAT6 performance supports network speeds up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet in qualifying channel configurations
• Black jacket color simplifies cable identification and color-coding schemes
• Sold individually — one cord per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation patch cord for CAT6 and CAT6-compatible structured cabling systems requiring plenum-rated CMP patch cables.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local building codes. Before routing, confirm that the plenum designation is required by the authority having jurisdiction for the space type. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not cinch cable ties so tightly that the jacket deforms, as this can degrade signal performance at CAT6 frequencies. Test the completed channel with a certified cable tester to verify CAT6 compliance after installation.
