Know before you buy
Yes, the Belden 2412 is specifically designed to support advanced PoE++ standards, making it a reliable choice for powering devices like high-performance wireless access points and security cameras.
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser-rated. This means the cable jacket is designed to prevent the spread of fire between floors in a building, making it compliant for use in vertical shafts and general premise installations.
The central spline acts as a physical separator between the four pairs of wires. This design significantly reduces crosstalk and interference, which helps maintain signal integrity and ensures the cable exceeds standard Category 6 performance requirements.
No, this cable is intended for indoor premise installations only. It is not UV-rated or moisture-resistant, so it should not be exposed to outdoor elements.
The Belden 2412 is rated for up to 350MHz. This exceeds the standard 250MHz requirement for Category 6, providing extra headroom for high-speed data transmission.
Yes, to ensure optimal performance, maintain a minimum bend radius of 2.25 inches and do not exceed a maximum pulling tension of 25 lbs. Following these guidelines prevents damage to the internal conductors and maintains the cable's geometry.
