Belden Inc. CAF2106045 CAT6 Patch Cable Blue 45 Ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF2106045 is a CAT6 patch cable rated for CMP (plenum) environments, finished in blue for easy circuit identification. Plenum-rated cables meet stricter fire and smoke requirements, making them suitable for installation in air-handling spaces such as above suspended ceilings or in raised floors where building codes mandate plenum-grade materials. At 45 feet, this cable provides the reach needed for longer horizontal runs between network equipment and patch panels. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable in structured cabling systems where consistent data transmission performance is required.

This patch cable is designed for use in commercial and enterprise network installations where plenum-rated wiring is required by code. Common applications include data centers, office buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities. The 45-foot length suits longer equipment room runs or cross-floor connections. It ships as a single unit and is ready to install without field termination.

Key Features

• CMP plenum rating meets fire and smoke spread requirements for air-handling spaces
• CAT6 performance supports high-speed data networking applications
• Blue jacket enables quick visual identification and color-coded circuit management
• 45-foot length provides flexibility for longer structured cabling runs
• Factory-terminated ends — no field crimping required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use patch cable for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems requiring CMP-rated patch cords.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. Follow local building codes and NEC requirements for plenum-rated cabling in air-handling spaces. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not over-cinch cable ties, as either practice can degrade signal performance. De-energize connected equipment before making or breaking patch cable connections at patch panels or active network gear.
