Press Release - Belden Introduces Bonded-Pair Small Diameter 6A Cable

Belden new bonded pair cable maximizes installable performance

LOUIS, Missouri – March 23, 2016 – Belden Inc., a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, introduces its bonded pair version of the popular small diameter Category 6A 10GXS cables. This product addresses a critical market need for a smaller, high performance cable with a simple design for emerging wireless, security and other applications.

Emerging applications such as wave 2 wireless access points and security cameras, combined with an increasing number of standards recommending Category 6A, are driving greater demand for 10G network performance. Because of this, the migration to Category 6A in the enterprise market is increasing rapidly.

For more than 20 years, customers have relied on Belden’s patented bonded pair technology to ensure physical integrity throughout the installation and use. Belden’s bonded pair 10GXS cables add enhanced reliability to the simple design without compromising performance and quality, ensuring robust performance and reliable networks. 10GXS cables are the smallest TIA compliant cables in the market and have a 25 percent diameter and weight reduction over standard Category 6A cables. It also has fewer pair twists and easy tape removal designed to make terminations easier for installers. This cable also accommodates tighter spaces and workstations with its smaller bend radius leaving room for future expansion.

“The 10GXS system has become the gold standard for new 10-gig installations.  The addition of bonded pair rounds-out the 10GXS product line giving our customers an extra level of system performance assurance and peace of mind.” states Greg Deitz, Belden’s global data cable product line manager. “Some other small diameter Category 6A products can’t deliver standards compliant channel performance to 100 meters or are less flexible and more time-consuming to install. By delivering 100 watts of power-over-Ethernet, 10GXS is ready to power all the new devices that will be coming on the market.” The new cable is backwards-compatible with the entire existing range of 10GX hardware, including connectors, patch panels and patch cords.
