Belden Inc. CAT1102001 Cat6 Patch Cord Red 1 Foot

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAT1102001 is a Cat6 traceable patch cord finished in red, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. The red jacket provides quick visual identification of cable runs, simplifying cable management and troubleshooting in dense patch panels and switch closets. Sold as a single unit, this patch cord is built to Cat6 performance standards, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications at appropriate channel lengths. Electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians rely on this type of patch cord to terminate horizontal runs at patch panels and connect active equipment in telecommunications rooms.

This patch cord is suited for use in commercial office environments, data centers, server rooms, and structured cabling systems requiring Cat6 performance. The 1-foot length makes it ideal for short panel-to-panel or panel-to-switch connections where cable slack management is a priority. The traceable construction aids in identifying individual cable paths within high-density installations, reducing diagnostic time during moves, adds, and changes.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and licensed electricians typically install structured cabling patch cords in accordance with TIA-568 standards and local codes. Ensure patch panel ports and switch ports are free of debris before seating connectors. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that can degrade cable performance. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius specified for Cat6 cabling.
