Belden Inc. 10GX13 0041000 Cat6a Plenum Cable Reel

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 10GX13 0041000 is a Cat6a 4-pair unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cable rated for plenum (CMP) installations. Designed to support 10-Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling systems, this cable meets the mechanical and fire-safety requirements for air-handling spaces. It ships as a single reel and is installed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians and electricians working on high-performance data network infrastructure.

This cable is intended for use in commercial and institutional structured cabling installations where plenum-rated pathways are required by code. Typical applications include horizontal runs above drop ceilings and in HVAC air-handling plenums where standard PVC-jacketed cable is not permitted. The CMP rating satisfies flame and smoke requirements defined by the NEC for plenum spaces, making it a code-compliant choice for office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and data centers.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance rating supports 10GbE applications up to 500 MHz
• U/UTP construction with 4 unshielded twisted pairs
• CMP plenum jacket rating complies with NEC Article 800 requirements for air-handling spaces
• Reel packaging suitable for large horizontal cable runs
• Discontinued product — verify availability before specifying on new projects

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling component compatible with Cat6a-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches supporting 10GbE over twisted pair infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. De-energize any nearby electrical equipment before pulling cable through pathways. Observe the minimum bend radius and maximum pulling tension specified for the cable to avoid degrading pair geometry and signal performance. Terminate only with Cat6a-rated connectors and tooling to maintain channel performance.
