Cat6A Plenum Belden 10GXW13 Solid Copper 23AWG 1000ft Ethernet Cable

Premium Cat6A Plenum Belden 10GXW13 Solid Copper 23AWG

You need a cable that meets the highest standards for speed, safety, and reliability. The Belden 10GXW13 Category 6A Plenum cable, available in the 10GXW13 (white, 1000ft) variant, gives you a true edge in commercial installations. With a 0.250-inch outer diameter, this cable stands as the smallest Cat6A plenum cable in its class. You can fit more cables in your pathways, reduce conduit fill, and finish your projects faster, without sacrificing performance or compliance.

Why the Belden 10GXW13 Stands Apart

Belden 10GXW13 is engineered for professionals who demand the best in every aspect of their network infrastructure. Here’s why you can trust this cable for your next project:

● Smallest Diameter Advantage: At just 0.250 inches, the 10GXW13 lets you maximize cable density in trays and conduits. You save space and reduce installation time, especially in high-density environments.

● Solid Bare Copper Conductors: The 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors deliver consistent signal integrity and meet all TIA/EIA standards. You avoid the pitfalls of copper-clad aluminum and ensure your network’s long-term reliability.

● Bonded-Pair Construction: The bonded-pair design allows higher pulling tension and a tighter bend radius. You can route the cable through complex pathways without worrying about performance loss or mechanical damage.

● PoE Performance: You get full 100-meter channel support at 100W PoE load, even up to 60°C, without derating. This is rare among Cat6A cables and is critical for powering modern devices such as access points, cameras, and lighting.

Fire Safety and Jacket Performance

You need to meet strict fire codes in commercial buildings. The flamarrest PVC LS jacket on the Belden 10GXW13 is CMP plenum-rated and NFPA 262 compliant. This means you can install it in air-handling spaces with confidence. The low-smoke, flame-retardant jacket protects your building and its occupants, while also meeting UL 444 and ETL standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between plenum and non-plenum Cat6A cable?

Plenum cables like the Belden 10GXW13 use a Flamarrest PVC ls jacket that meets strict fire and smoke standards for air-handling spaces. Non-plenum cables do not meet these requirements and are not suitable for installation in ducts or ceilings where air circulates.

Is the Belden 10GXW13 cable made with solid copper or copper-clad aluminum?

This cable uses 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors, not copper-clad aluminum. You get maximum conductivity and full compliance with industry standards.

Can I use this cable for PoE++ and 10 Gigabit Ethernet?

Yes, the 10gxw13 supports PoE, PoE+, PoE++ (up to 100W), and 10 Gbps data rates over a full 100-meter channel without derating, even at elevated temperatures.

What makes the 10GXW13 different from other Cat6A cables?

Its 0.250-inch diameter is the smallest in its class, which reduces conduit fill and installation time. The bonded-pair construction and Flamarrest PVC jacket provide superior mechanical and fire-safety performance.

Is this cable suitable for residential use?

You can use plenum cable in residential projects, but it is typically required only in air-handling spaces where local code mandates it. For most homes, riser or general-purpose cable suffices unless you run cable through HVAC plenums.
