The Belden IBDN 10GX System has been specifically designed to support the mission-critical needs of data centers, server farms, storage area networks, and campus backbones or network access nodes.

If you are running bandwidth-intensive applications such as uncompressed high resolution digital video, medical imaging, digital animation, CAD/CAM, high-speed data storage or cluster computing, you would also benefit from the 10GX System.

Why? Because the Belden IBDN 10GX System is the best end-to-end UTP structured cabling system in the industry today. Its performance exceeds both the TIA Category 6A and ISO Class EA standards and provides the end user with a guaranteed throughput rate of 10 Gb/s, with 625 MHz of useable bandwidth which is simply unique for any UTP system.

Built on Performance-enabling Technologies

1.The system’s cable is based upon an innovative RoundFleX design that serves to reduce Alien Crosstalk by randomizing the distance between the cables.
2. A patent-pending IDC design and patch panel circuit layout called MatriX IDC technology is utilized to substantially eliminate the effect of Alien Crosstalk between the modular jacks.
3. X-Bar technology: The X-Bar technology is based on a control device that enables the accurate positioning of each UTP pair before the pair is terminated on the 10GX Modular Jack IDC pins.
4. A patent-pending FleXPoint PCB (flexible printed circuit board) is used within the module housing to position the compensation circuitry directly at the plug’s point of contact. Instant compensation delivers guaranteed crosstalk performance to a minimum 625 MHz.

Each of these innovative technologies helps the system overcome Alien Crosstalk and the consistency of performance concerns at high frequencies that are paramount to 10G performance.

Belden IBDN System 10GX components include:
• 10GX Cables
• 10GX Modular Jacks
• 10GX Modular Cords
• 10GX Patch Panels
• Workstation Outlets

10GX Cables

Belden’s use of RoundFleX technology randomizes the distance between pairs in a cable and its neighboring cables, so both ANEXT and AFEXT coupling are improved. In fact, Belden 10GX Cables were tested in a worst-case scenario – a “6 around 1” cable environment – and still exhibited performance well over the Category 6A standard. In addition, this unique 10GX Cable design is smaller, more flexible and more installer-friendly than other Category 6A cables.

10GX Modular Jacks
The 10GX Modular Jack is the most advanced 10G jack available and comes in a KeyConnect and MDVO versions. To meet 10GX performance criteria, the 10GX Modular Jack is based on three technological innovations: MatriX IDC technology, FleXPoint PCB technology and X-Bar technology.

10GX Modular Cords
Based on Belden’s patented Bonded-Pair cables, 10GX Modular Cords pass the stringent TIA Mechanical Stress Reliability Specifications and provide optimum electrical performance – even in high-density installations which experience frequent handling stresses.

10GX Patch Panels
Available in both preloaded and modular versions, the patch panels listed below are all designed to meet the challenges of 10 Gb/s transmission.

Preloaded versions:
10GX KeyConnect Patch Panels
10GX Ultra High Density Patch Panel
