Belden Inc. 10GXS13 D15Z1000 Cat6a Plenum Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 10GXS13 D15Z1000 is a Cat6a 4-pair unshielded twisted-pair (U/UTP) plenum-rated network cable finished in blue. Rated CMP (Communications Multipurpose Plenum), this cable meets the stringent flame and smoke requirements for installation in air-handling plenum spaces. Designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth structured cabling applications, it is installed by licensed low-voltage contractors and network cabling technicians in commercial and institutional environments. The blue jacket aids in color-coded cable management and pathway identification on large cable runs.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in commercial, institutional, and light-industrial structured cabling systems where plenum-rated media is required by code. Typical deployment includes above-ceiling plenum spaces, air-handling corridors, and open-office data infrastructure installations. Its U/UTP construction keeps the cable profile manageable during pull-through in conduit or cable tray while maintaining Cat6a performance standards for data and voice applications.

Key Features

• Cat6a performance rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to specified channel lengths
• CMP (plenum) flame rating meets requirements for air-handling space installation per NFPA 90A
• 4-pair U/UTP construction — no overall shield or individual pair shielding for easier termination
• Blue jacket for color-coded cable plant identification and management
• Sold per unit (EA) as a single-reel quantity

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated Cat6a structured cabling solution for use with Cat6a-rated keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs in standards-compliant horizontal cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or network cabling contractor familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and local fire code requirements. Confirm that the pathway — plenum ceiling, cable tray, or conduit — is rated and cleared before pulling cable. Avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radius throughout the run to preserve cable geometry and signal performance. De-energize any adjacent electrical circuits as required by site safety procedures before beginning work in ceiling or plenum spaces.
