Belden Networking Solution Exceeds the Newly Published Category 6A Standard
RICHMOND, Ind., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Belden is pleased to
confirm that its System 10GX UTP cabling solution, first introduced in January
2005, meets and exceeds all the performance requirements of the newly ratified
TIA Category 6A standard (ANSI/TIA/EIA 568B.2-10). This new cabling standard
defines the requirements of four-pair balanced copper cabling to support 10G
transmission for distances up to 100 meters. The Belden System 10GX not only
meets and exceeds all Category 6A requirements but delivers guaranteed
performance up to 625 MHz, 125 MHz beyond the standard.

"Belden innovated with four totally new enabling technologies to achieve
these results," said Paul Kish, Director Cabling Systems and Standards,
Belden. The RoundFlex(TM) Cable technology features an internal cross-web
construction that keeps Alien Crosstalk at an exceptionally low level while
attaining a smaller cable diameter. The MatriX IDC(TM) Module technology
effectively eliminates Alien Crosstalk coupling between modular jacks. The
FlexPoint(TM) PCB Module technology positions the compensation circuitry
directly at the plug's point of contact thus reducing any unwanted noise. The
X-Bar(TM) Module termination technology assures accurate module/cable
termination and reduces installation variables.
"The combination of all these enabling technologies ensures that our
System 10GX provides guaranteed performance up to 625 MHz, which is 25%
greater than the TIA Category 6A standard. These performance benefits apply
for all channel configurations up to 100 meters and down to as little as 5
meters, an unequalled feat in the industry," said Kish. "This is an important
consideration for new installations in Data Centers allowing greater
flexibility in cabling layouts."
The TIA Category 6A standard (TIA 568 B.2-10) was ratified by TIA TR 42
engineering committee on February 8, 2008. It represents the most advanced set
of network cabling requirements specified up to 500 MHz. Category 6A is fully
backward compatible with all the previous categories, including Category 6,
Category 5e and Category 5.
"The finalization of the TIA Category 6A cabling standard and the recent
10GBASE-T equipment announcements should accelerate the deployment of
10G-over-copper network solutions throughout the enterprise," said Matt
Schaal, Vice President, Marketing and R&D, Belden. "Belden is committed to
bring products and solutions beyond the minimum limits determined by cabling
standards. By working closely with our customers and understanding their
applications and network environments, Belden can deliver solutions such as
the System 10GX that help our customers' networks operate more efficiently."
