Belden Inc. 10GXW12 0061000 Cat6a U/utp Cmr Riser Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 10GXW12 0061000 is a Cat6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) riser-rated (CMR) network cable supplied on a reel in light blue. Designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications, this cable meets the Category 6A performance standard, which requires reliable transmission up to 500 MHz. The CMR rating qualifies it for installation in riser spaces between building floors where fire spread through vertical runs must be controlled. Electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers for structured cabling projects in commercial and residential buildings.

This cable is suited for horizontal and vertical backbone runs in structured cabling systems that demand Cat6A performance. Typical applications include data centers, office buildings, healthcare facilities, and educational campuses where 10GBase-T Ethernet is specified. The light blue jacket allows for easy identification and color-coded pathway management within patch panels and cable trays. The reel format supports bulk installation pulls across long runs.

Key Features

• Cat6A U/UTP construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth requirements
• CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) jacket rating for vertical riser installations
• Light blue jacket for visual identification and color-coded cable management
• Supplied on a reel for bulk installation pulls
• Unshielded design simplifies termination and reduces installation complexity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style riser-rated Cat6A U/UTP cable suitable for structured cabling systems and patch panels that comply with TIA-568 Category 6A specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. CMR-rated cable must be installed in riser applications and may not be substituted for CMP-rated plenum cable in air-handling spaces. De-energize connected network equipment before terminating cable ends. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer-specified minimum bend radius throughout the cable run to preserve signal integrity.
