Belden Inc. CAT1103006 CAT6 Patch Cord Orange 6in

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAT1103006 is a CAT6 traceable patch cord finished in orange, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and light industrial environments. Built to CAT6 performance standards, it supports 10GbE applications at shorter cable runs and delivers reliable signal integrity for network patching tasks. The orange jacket provides visual identification in high-density patch panel environments, reducing the chance of accidental disconnection during moves, adds, and changes. Licensed low-voltage electricians and network infrastructure technicians are the primary installers of this type of patch cord.

This patch cord is suited for use in server rooms, telecommunications closets, and data center patching applications where CAT6 or CAT6E performance is required. The traceable design allows technicians to quickly identify and trace individual cable runs in dense installations. It is sold individually as a single unit and is appropriate for both new installations and field replacement of damaged or failed patch cables in existing structured cabling systems.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance rating supports 10GbE at qualifying distances
• Orange jacket for color-coded circuit identification in patch panels
• Traceable design aids cable management in high-density environments
• Sold as a single unit for precise inventory control

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or field-install patch cord for CAT6 and CAT6E structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 patch panels and network switches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage electricians or qualified network cabling technicians. Ensure patch panel ports and switch ports are free of debris before seating connectors. Follow TIA-568 standards for CAT6 patch cord bend radius and strain relief requirements. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable jacket, as this can degrade signal performance.
