RS485, 2 Pr #24 Str TC, PE Ins, OS+TC Brd, PVC Jkt, AIA Armor, PVC Jkt, CM (Category 6A Cable) – Belden (129842)

Features & Benefits

• Reliable network performance: Designed for mission-critical situations that require constant uptime, whether indoor or outside
• Best-in-class system noise immunity: Achieved through outstanding cable balance, is less susceptible to RFI/EMI in noisy environments
• Reduce installation time and costs: 10GXW is the smallest and lightest horizontal Category 6A cable available
• Unparalleled performance: Full 100m channel length under 100W PoE load without derating up to 60°C using 10GXS cables
• Designed to Last: Higher pulling tensions and tighter bend radii offered by Bonded-Pair Cables
