Belden Introduces Innovative TIA-Compliant Small-Diameter Category 6A Cable
Fit more copper in tight spaces to match rising bandwidth demands with next-generation Category 6A cable.
Belden Inc. (NYSE:BDC), a leading global provider of complete connection solutions, today announced the launch of its 10GXM13 Category 6A Cable. Building on Belden's leadership in the smart infrastructure space, this 0.230" (5.84 mm) cable sets new standards for small-diameter Category 6A cables. The 10GXM13 cable delivers enhanced channel performance and 100-meter lengths that meet full Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) compliance.
The drive to digitize increases demand for more cables in today's buildings. With its small diameter and filler-free design, this next-gen Category 6A cable creates new possibilities. Organizations can now deploy 10Gig links with a cable that is nearly as small as a Category 6 cable, allowing for larger bundle sizes and the ability to upgrade old Category 6 links to Category 6A and deploy more copper without running new conduit.
The 10GXM13 cable makes better connections possible and lets organizations build the infrastructure that maximizes value.
- Space- and cost-saving: A 0.230" (5.84mm) outside diameter unlocks new installation opportunities while reducing conduit expenditures.
- Easy deployment and termination: Eliminating filler simplifies termination, and pairing with REVConnect® Connectivity shortens the time to go live.
- Less waste: A filler-free design means less material wasted and installed for more sustainable building practices.
"We know that data is currency – and the 10GXM13 Category 6A Cable is an important component of the complete connection solutions that help bring our clients' data infrastructure into alignment," said Joshua Goyke, Solution Line Manager, Healthcare. "The smart buildings industry faces steadily increasing bandwidth demands, which challenge them to fit more copper into tight spaces. With our innovative filler-free design, we've created our 10GXM13 Category 6A Cable to achieve an outside diameter that is significantly smaller than traditional 0.250" Category 6A cables. This breakthrough makes these cables the smallest and easiest-to-deploy Category 6A available, eliminating slow speeds and maximizing uptime for smart building networks."
These cables are designed for a wide range of markets and applications. 10GXM13 Category 6A Cables are ideal for commercial real estate, data centers, government, healthcare, higher education, hospitality, and stadium and venue sectors.
