BELDEN 10GA22, CAT6A 4-PAIR 23 AWG UTP PLENUM/INDOOR CABLE

BELDEN 10GA22 is a high-bandwidth, Category 6A (Cat6A) Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable designed for next-generation network infrastructure. Featuring 23 AWG conductors and a Plenum (CMP) rating, it is built to support 10GBASE-T data rates over long distances, making it the ideal choice for air-handling spaces where fire safety and maximum data performance are required.

Product Description

This cable is engineered to meet the stringent demands of modern data centers, high-speed enterprise networks, and power-intensive PoE installations:

10Gbps Performance: Optimized for 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet), the 10GA22 provides transmission bandwidth up to 500 MHz. Its precise design is focused on significantly reducing Alien Crosstalk (AXT) without the bulk of an overall shield, making it easier to pull and terminate than many shielded variants.

Plenum-Rated (CMP): Encased in a flame-retardant, smoke-suppressing jacket, this cable is fully compliant for use in building plenum spaces (such as drop ceilings and raised floors). This allows for safe, code-compliant installation in critical air-handling environments without the need for protective conduit.

PoE+ and PoE++ Capability: With larger 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors, this cable excels in Power over Ethernet applications. The heavier gauge reduces resistance, minimizing heat buildup within large cable bundles when powering high-draw devices like modern wireless access points, security cameras, and smart building sensors.

Advanced Internal Design: To achieve Cat6A performance, the cable utilizes a high-performance separator (spline) that ensures consistent pair geometry and prevents pair-to-pair interference.
