Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cat6A U/UTP copper cable used for?
Cat6A U/UTP copper cable like the Belden 10GXS12 is designed for high-speed 10GBASE-T networking applications. It supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over longer distances, making it ideal for enterprise networks, data centers, and structured cabling systems requiring enhanced bandwidth and performance.
What does CMR riser rating mean?
CMR (Communications Multipurpose Riser) rating indicates the cable is approved for use in vertical runs between floors in buildings. The Belden 10GXS12 with CMR-LP or CL3R-LP options provides fire safety compliance while maintaining performance in riser applications, reducing smoke and flame spread in case of fire.
How does Equispline and EquiBlock technology improve performance?
Belden's patented Equispline and EquiBlock technologies optimize pair geometry and spacing within the Cat6A cable, reducing crosstalk and signal interference. This ensures consistent 625 MHz bandwidth performance and reliable 10GBASE-T transmission with superior signal integrity across the entire cable run.
Is the 10GXS12 suitable for permanent installation?
Yes, the Belden 10GXS12 is designed as a horizontal cable for permanent structured cabling installations. Its solid 23 AWG copper conductors, durable PVC jacket, and riser rating make it ideal for long-term deployment in walls, conduits, and cable trays within commercial and enterprise environments.
