Belden Inc. CA24108010M Cat 6A Unshielded Patch Cord Gray

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. CA24108010M is a Category 6A 10GX unshielded patch cord designed for high-speed structured cabling installations. This gray-jacketed cord supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications and is built to meet the demands of data center, commercial, and enterprise network environments. Measuring 10 meters in length, it provides reliable connectivity between network switches, patch panels, servers, and other active equipment. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers. The unshielded construction simplifies routing in standard cable management systems where EMI mitigation is handled at the infrastructure level.

This patch cord is suited for use in commercial and enterprise network installations requiring 10GbE performance over Cat 6A horizontal cabling. Typical applications include top-of-rack data center connections, horizontal cross-connects in telecommunications rooms, and structured cabling upgrades supporting high-bandwidth applications. The 10-meter length accommodates longer runs between patch panels and active equipment in larger rack configurations or equipment rooms.

Key Features

• Category 6A rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) performance
• 10GX unshielded (UTP) construction for simplified cable management
• Gray jacket for easy visual identification and color-coded organization
• 10-meter length suitable for extended patch panel and equipment connections
• Sold individually (1 cord per unit)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord compatible with Cat 6A unshielded structured cabling systems and RJ45 port interfaces on switches, patch panels, and network equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage cabling contractors or network technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. Do not cinch cable ties excessively, as compression can degrade Cat 6A performance. Power down connected active equipment ports before hot-swap scenarios where port damage is a concern.
