Bonded-pair UTP cables eliminate air gaps

Belden IBDN Systems can be designed and installed using either bonded-pair UTP cables or unbonded-pair UTP cables.

Belden IBDN systems can be designed and installed using either bonded-pair UTP cables or unbonded-pair UTP cables.

Both cable types offer performance well beyond the standards.

bonded-pair UTP cables - DataTwist 350, MediaTwist and DataTwist 600e - feature a patented design that bonds the individual insulated conductors of each pair along the full length of the cable.

This bonded construction delivers installable performance.

That is, bonded-pair cables are consistent in the distance between the conductors and in the amount of twist, throughout the installation process, so they deliver the same, superior electrical performance both before and after the cable's installation.

The unique benefit of the Belden CDT product range, related to pretermination, is the bonded pair cable portfolio with its associated guaranteed installable performance.

As the individual conductors of each twisted pair are bonded together, air gaps can not form between the conductors during installation or termination.

These air gaps can rob a cable of its electrical performance resulting in marginal passes or even failures.

With bonded pair cable, the physical integrity of the cable is maintained of the cable is maintained, thus ensuring stable electrical performance.

As pretermination, and the subsequent installation at the end user site involves considerable manipulation of the cable, the bonded pair cable portfolio is the industry leading solution for such an implementation.

A Belden CDT preterminated solution is fully covered by the Belden IBDN 25 year labour and materials warranty.
