BELDEN 1309A, 24 AWG CATEGORY 5E (CAT5E) UTP DATA CABLE

Belden 1309A features four pairs of 24 AWG solid bare copper conductors, twisted to precise specifications to minimize Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and signal attenuation. It is engineered to deliver reliable data rates up to 100 MHz, making it perfectly suited for 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) applications. A key differentiator for the 1309A series is its robust construction; it is frequently utilized in installations where the cable must withstand harsher environmental conditions than standard office-grade cabling, such as in semi-exposed areas or conduits.

Conductor: 4 pairs (8 conductors), 24 AWG solid bare copper.

Design: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) to maintain flexibility and simplify termination.

Performance: Reliable Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) connectivity.

Environmental Resilience: Often features a more durable outer jacket compared to standard patch cables, providing better protection against moisture and UV exposure.

Best For: Reliable enterprise networking, outdoor-to-indoor transitions, industrial LANs, and high-demand structured cabling systems.
