BELDEN 7834A, 4 PAIR 23AWG CAT6 UTP
Belden 7834A is a high-performance Category 6 (Cat 6) Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable designed for enterprise-grade networking and high-speed data transmission. Utilizing four pairs of 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors and a central separator, it provides reliable support for Gigabit Ethernet applications with superior immunity to crosstalk.
Product Description
7834A is a staple for structured cabling in office environments and commercial buildings. It is designed to meet or exceed TIA/EIA-568.2-D performance standards, ensuring stable, high-bandwidth communication for data, voice, and power-over-Ethernet (PoE) applications up to 250 MHz.
Key Technical Specifications
Conductor Construction: 4 pairs of 23 AWG solid bare copper. Solid conductors are used to ensure maximum performance and signal integrity for fixed, horizontal cable runs within walls, ceilings, and cable trays.
Central Spline (Separator): Includes a physical cross-web separator that maintains the geometry of the twisted pairs. This significantly reduces NEXT (Near-End Crosstalk) and ensures uniform electrical characteristics across all pairs.
Insulation: Polyolefin insulation provides consistent dielectric properties required for high-frequency data transmission.
Jacket Material: Typically features a high-grade PVC jacket (CM rated) suitable for standard building installations, offering a balance of flexibility and flame resistance.
Performance: Optimized for 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) and is capable of supporting 10GBASE-T over shorter distances, making it a future-proof choice for most commercial network needs.
Primary Applications
Horizontal LAN Cabling: Connecting wall outlets to patch panels in office network closets.
PoE (Power over Ethernet): The 23 AWG conductors allow for efficient delivery of power to devices like VoIP phones, IP security cameras, and wireless access points without exceeding safe temperature limits.
Data Centers: Frequently used in top-of-rack or end-of-row cabling where high-speed reliable transmission is required.
Comparison: 7834ANH vs. 7834A
7834A: Uses a standard PVC jacket, best for general-purpose horizontal cabling where standard fire ratings are required.
7834ANH: Uses a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH/NH) jacket, required in specific jurisdictions or environments (like schools, hospitals, or transit stations) where toxicity and smoke density in the event of a fire are critical safety concerns.
