BELDEN 10GA24 10 GIGABIT ETHERNET CAT6A UTP

Belden 10GA24 is a high-performance Category 6A (Cat 6A) Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable designed for high-bandwidth enterprise networking. Engineered to support data rates up to 10 Gigabits per second (10GBASE-T) at frequencies up to 500 MHz, it provides a cost-effective, high-speed solution for modern data center and office infrastructure.

Product Description

10GA24 is optimized for advanced network applications that require consistent performance and minimal signal interference. By employing precision-engineered pair twists and an internal separator, this cable effectively minimizes Alien Crosstalk (AXT), ensuring robust 10Gbps transmission over the standard 100-meter channel length without the need for additional shielding.

Key Technical Specifications
Conductor Construction: 4 pairs of 23 AWG (or 24 AWG depending on specific sub-variant) solid bare copper conductors, providing excellent electrical conductivity and heat dissipation for PoE applications.

Internal Geometry: Includes a physical separator (spline) that maintains pair separation, which is vital for maintaining the electrical balance and signal integrity necessary for 10 Gigabit speeds.

Insulation: High-density polyolefin insulation, ensuring stable dielectric performance across all four pairs.

Outer Jacket: Durable, flame-retardant PVC (CM or CMR rated) jacket, designed for longevity in horizontal building installations.

Network Performance: Certified to meet TIA/EIA-568.2-D standards for Category 6A cabling, supporting all current and next-generation high-speed network protocols.

Primary Applications
10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T): Primary choice for high-speed backbone cabling and server room connectivity.

High-Bandwidth Enterprise LANs: Ideal for environments requiring high-speed data transfer for large-scale file sharing, video conferencing, and cloud-based applications.

PoE (Power over Ethernet): Capable of supporting high-wattage PoE applications (e.g., Wi-Fi 6 access points, PTZ security cameras) while maintaining high data integrity.

Future-Proofing: Provides the necessary infrastructure headroom to support future network upgrades without the need for recabling.
