Belden Inc. 10GXS13 005A1000 Cat6a Plenum Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 10GXS13 005A1000 is a Category 6A plenum-rated copper data cable engineered for high-speed structured cabling installations. Designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other demanding network applications, this cable meets plenum space requirements, making it suitable for runs through air-handling areas where fire and smoke ratings are mandatory. It ships in a 1000-foot pull box for straightforward in-wall or overhead installation. Low-voltage electricians and data/voice cabling technicians are the primary installers for this type of cable in commercial and institutional environments.

This cable is intended for horizontal runs in commercial office buildings, healthcare facilities, schools, and other structured cabling environments that require plenum-rated material per fire code. It is suited for data closet home-run runs back to patch panels, as well as cable tray and above-ceiling routing. The 1000-foot box format is standard for pull-through installations across multiple drops in a single run sequence.

Key Features

• Category 6A rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at up to 500 MHz bandwidth
• Plenum-rated jacket meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• 1000-foot pull box format minimizes waste and simplifies large-scale installation
• Designed for structured horizontal cabling in commercial and institutional buildings
• Suitable for above-ceiling, cable tray, and conduit routing in plenum-rated pathways

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution compatible with standard Cat6A patch panels, keystone jacks, and modular faceplates following TIA-568 wiring standards. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage electrician or certified network cabling technician in accordance with local fire codes and NFPA 90A requirements for plenum spaces. De-energize any adjacent electrical systems before beginning overhead or in-wall cable pulls. Maintain minimum bend radius during pulls to avoid degrading cable performance, and do not exceed the cable's maximum pull tension. All terminations should be made at certified Cat6A-rated jacks and patch panels to preserve channel performance.
