Description
High-Quality Belden 2412 Cat6 Riser Cable 1000ft - 23 AWG -UL Listed
Belden 2412 Cat6 cable stands out as a Cat6+ solution, exceeding ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 requirements. While standard Cat6 guarantees 250 MHz, this cable is tested up to 350 MHz, giving your network extra bandwidth for demanding applications. You can confidently deploy it for Gigabit Ethernet, 10/100/1000BASE-T, and high-power PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ devices. IEEE 802.3bt certification ensures full support for modern networked devices, including IP cameras and wireless access points.

Solid Copper Conductors - Not CCA
Belden 2412 Cat6 cable uses solid bare copper conductors, not copper-clad aluminum (CCA). Solid copper ensures lower attenuation, higher reliability, and full compliance with TIA and IEEE standards. CCA cables can fail performance tests and cause issues in longer runs or high-power PoE environments. With Belden Cat6 cable, you get consistent, professional-grade results.
Where to Use Belden 2412 Cat6 Riser Cable
The CMR riser rating allows you to install this cable vertically through walls, between floors, and in elevator shafts. It meets UL 1666 fire standards, so it resists flame spread in riser spaces. However, do not use this cable in plenum spaces (air-handling areas like drop ceilings or raised floors).
For those installations, select the Belden 2412 plenum variant, which features a CMP rating and a low-smoke, flame-retardant jacket. Plenum cable is more expensive but can be used in both plenum and riser spaces. The riser cable is for riser and general interior spaces only and is not rated for outdoor, direct burial, or underground use.
Installation Best Practices for Belden 2412 Cat6 Cable
To achieve optimal performance, follow these guidelines:
● Use Cat6-rated RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, and patch panels designed for 23 AWG solid copper.
● Do not exceed 25 lbs (11 kg) pull tension during installation.
● Maintain a minimum bend radius of 2.25 inches to protect the cable’s internal geometry.
● Use the built-in ripcord for clean jacket removal.
● This cable is compatible with the Belden IBDN 2400 System and standard structured cabling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Belden 2412 Cat6 riser cable in plenum spaces?
No. The Belden 2412 riser cable is CMR-rated and not approved for plenum or air-handling spaces. For those areas, use the Belden 2412 plenum variant with a CMP rating and a low-smoke, flame-retardant jacket.
What is the maximum run length for Belden 2412 Cat6?
The maximum horizontal segment length is 100 meters (328 feet) per TIA standards. Exceeding this distance can cause signal degradation.
Is Belden 2412 made with solid copper or copper-clad aluminum?
Belden 2412 uses solid bare copper conductors, which provide lower attenuation and better signal quality than CCA.
Does Belden 2412 support Power over Ethernet?
Yes. Belden 2412 is certified to IEEE 802.3bt, supporting PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ for high-power devices.
What connectors work with Belden 2412 Cat6 cable?
Use Cat6-rated RJ45 plugs, keystone jacks, and patch panels designed for 23 AWG solid copper conductors for the best results.
