Product Bulletin PB 294 Belden DataTwist 1200 Cables DataTwist 1200 UTP Cables are part of the industry s most powerful Category 5e networking solution: Belden IBDN System 1200. DataTwist 1200 Cables exceed the TIA/EIA Category 5e requirements and have excellent PSNEXT, PSACR and return loss characteristics. DataTwist 1200 Cables Provide Excellent Mechanical and Electrical Performance for Category 5e Networks Be Certain with Belden DataTwist 1200 Cable If your business is riding the wave of growth and expansion, you may be considering new ways of doing business and therefore a new or upgraded IT system to support these strategies. This is the ideal time to plan and implement new cabling or to upgrade your existing infrastructure. DataTwist 1200 Cables were developed to support high-speed network applications such as Gigabit Ethernet. Ideal for supporting up to 1000BASE-T, this cable was designed to exceed current standards, providing built-in margin and optimizing network performance. DataTwist 1200 Cables consist of 4 pairs of 24 AWG insulated copper conductors with a round flexible core construction. The patented design features matched conductors on all four pairs, which provides for extremely stable electrical performance. Depending on your application requirements, DataTwist 1200 Cables can be specified in a standard Nonbonded-Pair design or in Belden s exclusive Bonded-Pair construction (DT350). All DataTwist 1200 Cables feature a small diameter (0.2 in. or less) for higher density installations especially valuable for runs inside conduit. For the installer, the DataTwist 1200 Cables come with a unique descending sequential printing scheme that shows exactly how much cable remains on the spool or in the box. And that translates into faster installations with less waste. Belden DataTwist 1200 Cables are part of the Belden IBDN 1200 System. Belden s 1200 System substantially exceeds all requirements for Category 5e channels per the TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standard. Certified to support data rates up to 1.2 Gb/s for a system with usable bandwidth of 160 MHz, the 1200 Solution provides the advanced performance required to fully support today s broad spectrum of business applications.

The choice will depend on the type of signals supported, the critical nature of the information transmitted, and the stability of the networking environment. Belden s Bonded-Pair Cables feature a patented design in which the individual conductors are securely bonded along their longitudinal axis to guarantee uniform spacing within each twisted pair a key factor in maintaining consistently high electrical performance. Because Belden s Bonded-Pair Cables have better centricity and symmetry, they provide improved return loss and balance performance. Superior transverse conversion loss (TCL), capacitance unbalance and resistance unbalance results in the cabling infrastructure being less susceptible to electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI). Belden s ultra-robust Bonded-Pair Cables can provide additional peace of mind, especially when deployed in: Mission-critical data centers Frequently changing networking environments where constant moves, adds and changes are routine Environments where electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) create noise and signal transmission problems In stable networking environments, Belden s standard DataTwist 1200 Cables will perform reliably to meet or exceed TIA/EIA Category 5e Key Physical Attributes DataTwist 1200 Bonded-Pair (DT350) Cable 4-pair, 24 AWG Bonded-Pair Nominal O.D.
