Belden Inc. 10GXW13 0041000 Cat6a Utp Plenum Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 10GXW13 0041000 is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) plenum-rated (CMP) network cable supplied on a reel in yellow jacket. Rated for plenum air-handling spaces, this cable meets the fire and smoke requirements for installation inside HVAC ducts, ceiling plenums, and raised-floor plenums without conduit. Cat6a supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) up to 100 meters and is designed for structured cabling systems in commercial and institutional facilities. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this product.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in commercial buildings, data centers, healthcare facilities, education campuses, and any environment where plenum-rated CMP cable is required by local fire code. The yellow jacket aids in visual identification of network cabling in mixed-cable environments. It is appropriate for new construction and retrofit projects where high-bandwidth, low-latency structured cabling is needed to support 10GbE infrastructure.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz
• U/UTP construction — unshielded twisted pairs, no overall shield required
• CMP plenum rating meets NFPA 262 for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit
• Yellow PVC jacket for easy visual identification in structured cabling environments
• Supplied on reel for long horizontal runs with minimal splice points

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6a U/UTP horizontal cable compatible with 10GbE switches, patch panels, and keystone jacks that conform to TIA-568-C.2-10 and ISO/IEC 11801 Category 6A channel specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or network cabling contractor in accordance with TIA-568 standards and applicable local building codes. De-energize and verify the absence of voltage on any adjacent power conductors before pulling cable through conduit or plenum spaces. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid exceeding pull-tension limits specified by the manufacturer to prevent degradation of twisted-pair geometry. Terminate to Cat6a-rated jacks and patch panels only to preserve channel performance.
