Belden Inc. CAF2306015 Cat6 Patch Cable 15 Ft Blue Plenum

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF2306015 is a Cat6 plenum-rated patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise environments. Built to T568B wiring standards, this cable provides reliable Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in horizontal and backbone runs where plenum air-handling spaces require CMP-rated jacketing. At 15 feet in length, it suits intermediate runs between patch panels, switches, and network equipment. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling contractors are the primary installers for this type of cable in commercial builds and data center fit-outs.

This patch cable is suited for structured cabling deployments in office buildings, data centers, healthcare facilities, and any installation where plenum-rated cabling is required by code. The T568B termination standard is the most common wiring configuration used in North American commercial networks, making this cable a direct-fit option for standard keystone and patch panel infrastructure. Its 15-foot length addresses mid-range horizontal patch runs within telecommunications rooms and equipment racks.

Key Features

• Cat6 performance supporting Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
• CMP plenum-rated jacket meets NEC requirements for installation in air-handling spaces
• T568B wiring configuration for compatibility with standard North American patch panel and switch infrastructure
• Blue jacket color for easy visual identification and cable management
• 15-foot length suitable for intermediate patch and cross-connect runs

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or structured cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 and applicable NEC articles governing communications wiring. Plenum-rated cables are required by code when routed through HVAC air-handling spaces and must not be substituted with non-plenum cable in those pathways. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not overtighten cable ties, as either condition can degrade Cat6 signal performance. Verify patch panel and switch port terminations match the T568B pinout before completing the run.
