BELDEN 10GXE02 4 PAIR, 23 AWG CAT6A STP

Belden 10GXE02 is a high-performance Category 6A (Cat 6A) S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) cable designed for demanding high-speed data networks. Featuring 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors and comprehensive individual and overall shielding, it is optimized to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) with superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and alien crosstalk.

Product Description

10GXE02 is an "enhanced" premise horizontal cable built for data centers, building backbones, and enterprise environments where reliable, high-bandwidth transmission is essential. Its robust shielding architecture and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket make it a secure, high-integrity choice for critical networking infrastructure.

Key Technical Specifications
Conductor Construction: 4 pairs of 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors. Solid copper is the industry standard for horizontal building wiring, offering better transmission distance and stability compared to stranded wire.

Shielding Architecture (S/FTP):

Individual Pair Shielding: Each of the 4 pairs is wrapped in Beldfoil® (aluminum/polyester) tape to eliminate crosstalk between pairs.

Overall Shielding: An additional tinned copper braid (30% coverage) provides robust protection against external electromagnetic interference and improves structural integrity.

Dielectric/Insulation: Foam Polyethylene (PE) insulation minimizes signal attenuation and maintains the precise electrical characteristics required for 625 MHz performance.

Outer Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), which is flame-retardant and releases minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases in the event of a fire, making it safer for enclosed environments.

Compliance & Performance: Rated for 10GBase-T up to 100 meters, ensuring future-proof network capacity.

Primary Applications
10 Gigabit Ethernet Networks: Ideal for high-speed connectivity in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise LANs.

High-Interference Zones: The S/FTP shielding provides excellent immunity against EMI, making it suitable for areas with heavy electrical machinery or high-density cabling.

Safety-Critical Installations: The LSZH jacket is specifically required in many public buildings, hospitals, and schools to meet stringent fire safety and smoke density regulations.
