Belden Inc. 10GXS12 0071000 Cat6a Riser Cable Cmr 1000 Ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 10GXS12 0071000 is a Category 6A unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) riser-rated (CMR) data cable supplied on a 1000-foot roll in violet jacket. Designed for structured cabling installations that require 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over horizontal and vertical runs, this 4-pair cable meets the TIA-568.2-D and ANSI standards for Cat6A transmission. The CMR rating qualifies it for use in riser pathways between building floors where a plenum (CMP) rating is not required. Electricians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this product in commercial and residential network infrastructure.

This cable is suited for in-wall and riser backbone runs in office buildings, data centers, schools, and multi-family residential projects. It supports high-density structured wiring systems where 10GbE performance must be maintained across distances up to 328 feet per channel segment. The violet jacket aids in color-coded pathway identification in high-count cable environments, simplifying moves, adds, and changes during future network maintenance work.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet at up to 500 MHz bandwidth
• CMR (riser) flame rating for vertical inter-floor cable runs
• Unshielded construction for straightforward termination without grounding requirements
• 4-pair configuration compatible with standard RJ45 keystone jacks and patch panels
• Violet jacket for easy color-coded cable plant identification
• 1000-foot pull box roll for efficient installation on large projects

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6A CMR-rated UTP riser cable for use with 10GbE-compatible RJ45 termination hardware including keystone jacks, patch panels, and field-terminable connectors that meet TIA-568.2-D Cat6A specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage cabling contractor in accordance with NEC Article 800 requirements for communications riser cable. Do not exceed the cable's minimum bend radius or pulling tension limits during installation, as excessive stress can degrade transmission performance. Power down any active equipment connected to the run before terminating or testing. Verify fire-stop requirements at all floor penetrations per applicable local building codes before closing walls or conduit pathways.
