Belden Inc. M58294 CAT6 Riser Cable Yellow

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. M58294 is a CAT6 riser-rated (CMR) ethernet cable supplied in yellow. Riser-rated cable is manufactured to meet fire-propagation standards required for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential structures. CAT6 cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transmission, making it a standard choice for structured cabling installations. This cable is sold by the unit and is installed by licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and network cabling contractors working on data infrastructure projects.

This cable is suited for use in riser (CMR) applications where the cable route passes vertically through building cavities or conduit between floors. Typical installations include office buildings, multi-unit residential buildings, schools, and light commercial facilities requiring compliant structured cabling. The yellow jacket aids in visual identification of cable type or circuit designation within a cable tray or conduit bundle.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 requirements for communications wiring. De-energize any adjacent circuits before working in shared conduit or cable trays. Avoid exceeding the cable minimum bend radius and maximum pull tension during installation to maintain signal integrity. CMR-rated cable must not be substituted for plenum-rated cable in air-handling spaces.
