Belden 10GB Category 6A Enhanced

The Belden 10GB Category 6A enhanced network cable is engineered for high-performance data transmission in demanding network environments. This enhanced Category 6A cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 gigabits per second over distances up to 100 meters, making it suitable for enterprise networks, data centers, and high-bandwidth applications. Constructed with four twisted pairs of 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors, the cable features enhanced shielding with individual pair foil shielding and an overall braid shield, providing superior protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The cable maintains backward compatibility with Category 6, Category 5e, and Category 5 standards, ensuring flexibility in network upgrades. With a diameter of approximately 7.5 mm, the cable is designed for both permanent installations and patch cord applications. The enhanced Category 6A specification supports frequencies up to 500 MHz, delivering reliable performance for Power over Ethernet Plus applications up to 30 watts. The cable's durable PVC jacket provides protection against physical damage and environmental factors, while the color-coded conductors facilitate proper termination. This network cable meets or exceeds TIA/EIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards for Category 6A performance, ensuring compliance with industry specifications. The enhanced construction delivers improved alien crosstalk performance compared to standard Category 6A cables, making it particularly suitable for high-density installations where multiple cables run in close proximity. The cable supports 10GBASE-T applications as defined in IEEE 802.3an, providing reliable connectivity for servers, switches, routers, and other network equipment. With its robust construction and enhanced performance characteristics, this network cable delivers consistent signal integrity and data transmission reliability in professional networking environments.
