Belden Inc. CAF2209050 CAT6 Patch Cable White 50 Feet

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF2209050 is a CAT6 patch cable configured with a T568A wiring standard and an open boot design, suitable for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential low-voltage networks. Built to CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) flame rating, this cable is rated for riser applications between floors in commercial buildings. At 50 feet in length, it provides a longer run suitable for connecting network equipment across distances where shorter patch cables fall short. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling installers are the primary trades working with this cable.

This patch cable is used in horizontal or riser cabling runs within network closets, server rooms, and commercial office environments. The T568A pinout configuration is common in government and some legacy enterprise installations. The open boot connector design allows for easier inspection of the termination and is preferred in installations where cable dress and organization are a priority. It is sold as a single factory-terminated assembly.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-T applications at appropriate distances
• T568A wiring standard for compatibility with T568A-terminated infrastructure
• CMR riser flame rating meets installation requirements for vertical runs between floors
• Open boot RJ45 connectors allow visual inspection of wire termination
• White jacket color aids in cable identification and organization in patch panels
• Factory-terminated assembly reduces field installation time and termination error

Compatibility

Designed as a factory-terminated CAT6 patch cable for use with standard RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network switches wired to the T568A standard in riser-rated structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or network cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable jacket, and do not route alongside high-voltage electrical conductors without proper separation per NEC Article 800. Verify that the patch panel or jack infrastructure uses matching T568A terminations to maintain signal continuity. No field termination is required for this factory-assembled cable.
