Cat6A Plenum Belden 10GXS13 Solid Copper 23AWG UTP 1000ft Ethernet Cable

Cat6A Plenum Belden 10GXS13 D151000: High-Performance Solid Copper Cable for Demanding Networks

This cable is built with high-quality materials and precision manufacturing. At its core are 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors, wrapped in FEP insulation for excellent signal transmission and top-notch conductivity. You get fast, stable data transfer speeds, whether you're running a data center, a network backbone, or a link through a noisy electrical environment.

The 10GXS13 (Belden part number 10GXS13 D151000 for the 1000ft reel put-up) carries a plenum-rated Flamarrest PVC-LS jacket, so it meets strict fire safety codes and works in air-handling spaces where standard cable jackets aren't allowed.

This cable delivers strong performance and durability thanks to:

• Solid bare copper conductors (23 AWG): Reliable signal transmission and excellent conductivity for fast data speeds.

• FEP insulation: Holds up under sustained heat and keeps pair geometry consistent across the full run.

• Plenum-rated Flamarrest PVC-LS jacket: Meets stringent fire safety standards and is built for plenum spaces that need extra fire protection.

• Patented EquiSpline™ and EquiBlock™ technologies: Keep the four pairs evenly spaced and separated inside the jacket, which reduces crosstalk and maintains performance across the cable's full length.

• Small-diameter design: Fits more cable into the same conduit, tray, or cable pathway, so you get higher density without sacrificing performance.

Cat6A Plenum Belden 10GXS13 Solid Copper: Tested and Certified

The 10GXS13 goes beyond solid materials by meeting industry-leading standards:

• UL certified: Meets Underwriters Laboratories' safety requirements, including the NFPA 262 plenum flame test (UL 910).

• ETL-listed: Verified for performance and safety by Intertek.

• TIA-compliant: Meets Telecommunications Industry Association standards for Cat6A cabling, rated to 625 MHz.

• TAA-compliant: Ready for government and federal projects.

• CMP-rated: Cleared for plenum spaces under CSA FT6 and IEC 60332-1-2 flammability standards.

• RoHS 2 and REACH compliant: Meets EU environmental directives, with an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) on file.

These certifications validate the cable's reliability and qualify it for demanding, code-regulated network installations.

Built for Demanding Applications

The 10GXS13 handles the environments where standard cable falls short:

• Data centers (EoR and MoR): Built for end-of-row and middle-of-row deployments where cable density and signal integrity both matter.

• Network backbones and premise horizontal runs: Rated for the sustained, high-volume data transfer that backbone cabling needs.

• Noisy environments: The solid copper construction and consistent pair geometry help maintain signal quality near motors, fluorescent lighting, and other sources of electrical interference.

• Wireless access points: Support Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5 deployments where access points draw power and bandwidth from the same run.

• AV distribution: Handles HDBaseT and HDBaseT 4K UHD for long-distance, high-definition video and audio.

Why Solid Copper Matters

Structured cabling standards call for solid copper conductors in permanent in-wall or in-ceiling runs, not stranded copper, which is intended for shorter, flexible patch cords. Solid copper conductors offer lower DC resistance and steadier signal transmission over long horizontal runs, which is exactly what the 10GXS13 is built for. If your project calls for a permanent link between a patch panel and a wall jack or access point, solid copper is the standard you need, and that's what this cable delivers.

Made in the USA

The Belden 10GXS13 is manufactured in the USA, so you get consistent quality control and a supply chain that isn't subject to the delays or inconsistencies that come with overseas sourcing. If domestic sourcing matters for your project's specs or your organization's procurement policy, browse our full selection of USA-made cable to compare options.

Built to Last

The 10GXS13 stands out for its durability, backed by patented pair-management technology and a jacket built to handle sustained heat. That combination makes it a dependable choice for network installations that need to perform for years without a rebuild.

Get the Most Out of Your Network With the Belden 10GXS13 Cable

Here's what makes it stand out:

• Length: Available as a 1000ft reel (part number 10GXS13 D151000).

• Blazing-fast speeds: Supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5, and HDBaseT.

• Handles heavy data: Move large files and stream high-resolution content at speeds up to 10 Gigabits per second.

• Power over Ethernet (PoE) ready: Run power directly through the cable; no extra outlets needed. It handles high-power PoE+ and PoE++ loads without issue.

• Long-distance performance: Delivers a full 100W over the full 100-meter (330ft) channel length, without derating, even at temperatures up to 60°C (140°F).

• Fire safety: The plenum-rated jacket meets strict fire-safety codes for spaces that require them.

• Durable construction: Solid bare copper conductors (23 AWG) hold up for the long haul.

Belden 10GXS13 Price and What Affects It

Belden 10GXS13 price moves with the cost of raw copper, reel length, and order volume, so it's worth checking current pricing before you lock in a project budget. Buying the full 1000ft reel typically brings the per-foot cost down compared to shorter cuts, and bulk orders across multiple reels usually qualify for further savings.
