Belden Inc. 10GX63F 010Z500 Cat6a F/utp Cmp Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 10GX63F 010Z500 is a Category 6A foil-shielded unshielded twisted pair (F/UTP) cable rated for plenum (CMP) environments. Constructed with 4 pairs and a CMP flame rating, this cable is engineered for high-speed structured network installations where air-handling spaces require low-smoke, low-flame materials. Cat6a supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it a reliable backbone for demanding data infrastructure. Installation is handled by licensed low-voltage electricians and network cabling contractors in both commercial and institutional settings.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in plenum-rated ceiling and raised-floor spaces in commercial office buildings, hospitals, schools, and data centers. The F/UTP construction provides a foil shield around all four pairs, reducing alien crosstalk (AXT) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) without requiring individually shielded pairs. It is appropriate for structured cabling systems that must meet TIA-568 standards for 10GBase-T applications over distances up to 100 meters.

Key Features

• Cat6a rating supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at up to 500 MHz
• F/UTP construction with overall foil shield reduces EMI and AXT
• CMP plenum flame rating approved for use in air-handling spaces
• 4-pair configuration meets TIA-568 horizontal cabling requirements
• Black jacket for easy identification and routing in conduit or open plenum

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated Cat6a structured cabling solution compatible with standard RJ45 Cat6a keystone jacks, patch panels, and 10GBase-T network equipment following TIA-568 wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage electrician or certified network cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 and applicable local building codes. Disable active network equipment on the circuit before terminating or pulling cable. Maintain minimum bend radius during pulls to avoid damaging the foil shield and internal pair geometry. Verify plenum space classification before installation to confirm CMP rating is required by the authority having jurisdiction.
