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

Belden 1309A is an enhanced Category 5e (Cat5e) UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) data cable designed for high-speed network environments. While similar to the 1307A, the 1309A is often optimized for specific outdoor or direct-burial applications (depending on the specific sub-version and jacket material), offering superior environmental protection while maintaining standard Gigabit Ethernet performance.

Product Description

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.
