Superior Essex K4-199-5A Cat 6 Cmr Patch Cable

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX K4-199-5A is a Category 6 CMR-rated patch cable finished in green jacket. CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating qualifies this cable for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings where riser-rated fire performance is required. The 4-conductor, 23 AWG construction meets Cat 6 performance standards for structured cabling installations. Network technicians and low-voltage electricians use this cable for patch panel connections, equipment room cross-connects, and horizontal network drops where a rated, color-coded cable is specified.

This patch cable is suited for structured cabling deployments in commercial office buildings, data centers, schools, and multi-unit residential properties. The green jacket serves as a visual identifier in high-density patch fields, helping technicians trace and manage circuits quickly. It is appropriate for gigabit Ethernet and similar 10BASE-T through 1000BASE-T applications where Cat 6 performance headroom is required by the network design or owner specification.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating for gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications
• CMR riser-rated jacket meets fire-resistance requirements for vertical cable runs
• 23 AWG conductor gauge consistent with Cat 6 structured cabling standards
• Green jacket provides visual circuit identification in patch fields and cable trays
• Single unit (EA) packaging for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use Cat 6 CMR patch cable for use with RJ45 patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in riser-rated structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local building codes. Verify riser-rated pathway requirements with the authority having jurisdiction before routing. Do not exceed the cable bend radius or pull tension limits specified for Cat 6 cabling, as doing so can degrade performance below Category 6 thresholds. Power down active network equipment at the termination point before connecting or disconnecting patch cables.
