Belden Inc. CAF2300025 Cat6 Patch Cable 25 Feet Black

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF2300025 is a Cat6 patch cable rated for CMR (riser) plenum-grade environments, terminated to the T568B wiring standard and supplied in a 25-foot black jacket. Designed for structured cabling installations, this cable supports 10GBase-T Ethernet at the appropriate channel length and is suited for patch panels, wall jacks, and equipment rack connections. Licensed low-voltage or data/communications contractors typically specify and install this cable in commercial and light industrial network infrastructure projects.

This patch cable is appropriate for horizontal or riser runs in commercial buildings where CMR-rated cabling is required by code. It is well suited for connecting network switches, routers, patch panels, and end-point devices in Cat6 or Cat6E structured cabling systems. The T568B termination matches the most widely deployed wiring scheme in North American commercial installations, making it a direct drop-in for existing infrastructures following that standard.

Key Features

• T568B termination standard for compatibility with North American commercial wiring deployments
• Cat6 performance supporting 10GBase-T Ethernet applications at rated channel lengths
• CMR riser-rated jacket for use in vertical cable runs between floors
• 25-foot length suits medium-distance patch panel and equipment connections
• Black jacket for easy identification and cable management in multi-cable environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-supply patch cable for Cat6 and Cat6E structured cabling systems using T568B-terminated patch panels and keystone jacks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or data communications contractor in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local codes. Avoid sharp bends or exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable, as this can degrade signal performance. De-energize connected switching equipment before patching or re-patching active ports where practical. CMR-rated cables must not be substituted for CMP (plenum) cables in plenum air-handling spaces.
