Belden Inc. CAT1103014 Cat6 Traceable Patch Cord Orange

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CAT1103014 is a 10GX traceable Cat6 patch cord in orange, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial network environments. The orange jacket provides quick visual identification during moves, adds, and changes in high-density patch panels. Built to Cat6 performance standards, this cord supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications and is 14 inches in length, making it well suited for short-run connections inside racks or between adjacent panels. Network installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary trade professionals who deploy this cable.

This patch cord is used in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and commercial office environments where cable traceability and color-coded organization are required. The 14-inch length is ideal for tight patch panel bay configurations where slack management is critical. It ships as a single unit and is appropriate for any installation that follows structured cabling standards for Cat6 or Cat6E horizontal and patch cabling segments.

Key Features

• Cat6 performance rating supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Orange jacket for color-coded cable plant organization and visual traceability
• 14-inch length designed for short rack-to-rack or panel-to-panel runs
• Traceable design to aid identification in dense cabling environments
• Sold as a single unit for precise quantity management

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard Cat6 patch cord for use with Cat6 and Cat6E patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals typically install Cat6 patch cords as part of structured cabling systems governed by ANSI/TIA-568 standards. Before replacing or reseating patch cords in active environments, confirm the circuit can tolerate a brief interruption or coordinate with the site network administrator. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of Cat6 cable to maintain signal integrity. Do not use cable ties that compress the jacket, as this can degrade transmission performance.
