Belden Inc. CAF2306050 Cat6 Patch Cable 50 Feet Blue

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAF2306050 is a Category 6 (Cat6) patch cable assembled to the T568B wiring standard with an open-boot connector design and a blue jacket. At 50 feet in length, this cable is suited for structured cabling runs that require a pre-terminated, ready-to-install solution. Cat6 cabling supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications over appropriate distances. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the typical installers for this type of patch cable in commercial and residential network environments.

This cable is used in horizontal or cross-connect patch applications within telecommunications rooms, server rooms, and structured wiring enclosures. The open-boot design allows for easier handling during termination and routing in dense patch environments. The 50-foot length accommodates longer runs between patch panels, switches, and network equipment where shorter stock lengths are insufficient.

Key Features

• T568B wiring standard for compatibility with standard patch panel and jack terminations
• Open-boot connector design for easier cable management in high-density installations
• 50-foot length for longer structured cabling runs
• Blue jacket for color-coded cable plant organization
• Category 6 rating supporting Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install Cat6 patch cable for use with standard RJ45 patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches wired to the T568B standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure the cable is routed away from high-voltage conduit and sources of electromagnetic interference. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Power down or place network ports in a safe state before connecting or disconnecting patch cables in live switching environments.
