Belden Inc. 10GXS12 0051000 CAT6A Riser Cable Cmr

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 10GXS12 0051000 is a Category 6A unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) riser-rated data cable designed for structured cabling installations that require 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. Built to CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) standards, it is suited for vertical runs between floors in commercial and institutional buildings. The cable ships on a 1,000-foot reel and features a green jacket for easy identification in the field. Network installers and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary trades that specify and pull this cable during new construction and retrofit projects.

This CAT6A riser cable is used in horizontal and backbone cabling runs within commercial office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and data centers where vertical shaft routing is required. The CMR rating meets the National Electrical Code requirements for riser applications. Its 4-pair unshielded construction simplifies termination and is compatible with standard CAT6A keystone jacks and patch panels, making it appropriate for both structured cabling closets and open-office cable trays.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to standard horizontal-run distances
• CMR riser rating meets NEC requirements for vertical shaft and floor-to-floor cable runs
• Unshielded (U/UTP) 4-pair construction simplifies field termination
• Green jacket provides visual identification in multi-cable environments
• 1,000-foot reel quantity suitable for full-floor or multi-drop installations

Compatibility

Designed as a CMR-rated CAT6A riser cable compatible with standard Category 6A termination hardware including keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs rated for CAT6A performance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling contractor in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable NEC riser requirements. De-energize any adjacent circuits before pulling cable through conduit or cable trays. Observe the manufacturer minimum bend radius and avoid exceeding the cable pulling tension limit to prevent pair untwisting or jacket damage. Terminate with CAT6A-rated hardware only to maintain channel performance.
