The Belden 10GX24 Purple (305m Reel-in-Box) is an enterprise-grade Category 6A U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) communications cable designed to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801 Category 6A requirements. Engineered for mission-critical installations, high-density data centers, and advanced building automation, the 10GX system is optimized to eliminate Alien Near-End Crosstalk (ANEXT) and Alien Attenuation-to-Crosstalk Ratio Far-End (AACRF) while maintaining a compact, flexible outer profile.
Constructed with four pairs of 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors insulated with premium polyolefin, the cable utilizes Belden's patented non-concentric insulation and internal physical separators to minimize internal pair-to-pair coupling. The outer jacket is made from Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) compound, ensuring maximum fire safety compliance in public buildings and enclosed spaces by emitting minimal smoke and non-toxic fumes during combustion. Supplied in a 305-meter (1000 ft) box/spool, it provides seamless cable pulling and deployment for professional network installers.
Comprehensive Key Features:
Enhanced Cat6A 10GbE Performance: Guaranteed 10GBASE-T Ethernet performance with extended frequency testing beyond standard specifications up to 625 MHz.
U/UTP Unshielded Architecture: Eliminates the need for grounding shields while maintaining superior noise resistance through optimized internal geometry.
Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Safety: Flame-retardant outer jacket designed to minimize smoke emission and toxic halogen release during fire hazards.
23 AWG Solid Bare Copper Conductors: Ensures optimal conductivity, low resistance, and full support for high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE++) applications up to 100W (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4).
Patented ANEXT Suppression: Engineered with custom physical spacers and non-concentric core technology to virtually eliminate Alien Crosstalk.
Distinctive Purple Color: Bright purple outer jacket designed for easy identification and cable management in structured cabling systems.
