Belden Inc. 10GXM13005A1000 Cat6a Plenum Cable Green

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 10GXM13005A1000 is a Category 6A plenum-rated data cable engineered for high-speed network infrastructure installations. With an outer diameter of 0.230 inches, this cable is designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications in air-handling spaces where plenum-rated jackets are required by fire code. The green jacket allows for easy visual identification in structured cabling runs. Electricians and low-voltage network installers use this cable in commercial and enterprise environments where NEC Article 800 CMP plenum compliance is mandatory.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in commercial office buildings, data centers, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions. Its plenum rating makes it the correct choice for installations routed through air ducts, dropped ceilings, and raised floors that serve as air-return plenums. The cable ships in a 1000-foot configuration, which is the standard pull length for structured cabling projects following ANSI/TIA-568 guidelines. Low-voltage contractors and licensed electricians performing structured cabling work are the primary installers.

Key Features

• Category 6A rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters
• Plenum (CMP) jacket meets NEC Article 800 requirements for air-handling spaces
• 0.230-inch outer diameter allows efficient conduit fill and cable management
• Green jacket provides visual identification in multi-cable installations
• 1000-foot pull length is standard for structured cabling horizontal runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution for Cat6A plenum horizontal runs in commercial and enterprise network installations compliant with ANSI/TIA-568 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or electrician familiar with NEC Article 800 and ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize any adjacent electrical systems and follow facility lockout/tagout procedures before routing cable through existing pathways. Do not exceed the cable's minimum bend radius during pulls, and avoid sharp edges or tie-wrap over-tightening that can deform the jacket or internal pairs. Terminate with Cat6A-rated jacks and patch panels to maintain channel performance ratings.
