Features & Benefits
• Central spline design separates pairs and
maintains stable pair position, thus improving
NEXT and impedance performance
• Stable pair position provides built-in
resilience to installation stresses
• Improved attenuation ensures stronger
signal power
• Maximized bandwidth and signal-to-noise
margin for mission-critical applications
• Larger 23 AWG conductors are ideal for
PoE and PoE+ applications
• Descending distance marking for
cable length reduces waste
• Matching tip and ring color code for
ease of installation
• Available in Spool-in-Box packaging for
ease of installation, handling and
inventory management

DataTwist 4800 UTP Cable, Category 6
Nonbonded-Pair and Bonded-Pair

DataTwist 4800, part of the 4800 System, is a
UTP cable engineered specifically to perform
well beyond ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-C.2 Category
6 requirements. DataTwist 4800 Cables can be
specified in either Nonbonded-Pair design or in
Belden’s exclusive Bonded-Pair construction. All
DataTwist 4800 Cables are designed to provide
low Insertion Loss (low signal Attenuation). This
characteristic enables increased signal power over
a higher range of frequencies. This strong signal
translates into maximum headroom and more
robust transmission for today’s applications as well
as a capacity for those of tomorrow’s networks. The
higher signal power of DataTwist 4800 Cables also
results in a higher PSACR. With this higher ratio,
4800 Cables are able to provide fewer transmission
errors and higher data rate capability.
　

DataTwist 4800 with Bonded-Pair technology is
fully characterized with guaranteed performance
to 600 MHz. Available in plenum and non-plenum
versions, DataTwist 4800 with Bonded-Pair
technology provides a greater amount of headroom,
enabling the structured cabling system to deliver
guaranteed performance even when unforeseen
circumstances arise.
