Bonded-Pair
Modular Cords Are the
Only Cords That Pass the
Stringent TIA Mechanical
Stress Reliability Specifications
and Provide Optimum
Electrical Performance
The 10GX, CAT6+ and CAT5E series of Bonded-
Pair Modular Cords are made with Belden’s
patented robust design Bonded-Pair cables.
These new modular cords offer the best
combination of transmission performance
and physical integrity. Bonded-Pair cable
technology ensures that these cords meet
the stringent TIA mechanical stress reliability
specifications. They are made with solid
conductors for improved attenuation in long
patch cords and pigtails often used in Data
Centers. The combination of Bonded-Pair cable,
improved strain relief and a flexible boot allows
for optimum performance in high-density
installations. The new simplified ordering code
scheme allows for customization of Bonded-
Pair Patch Cord and Pigtail configurations.
•
Exceeds TIA and ISO transmission and
mechanical performance requirements
•
New ordering code scheme to customize Bonded-
Pair Patch Cord and Pigtail configurations
Applications
•
Patch panel or equipment connections in
Data Centers or Telecommunications Rooms
•
Consolidation point connections
•
Telecommunications outlet or
MUTOA connections
Bonded-Pair Cable
Belden’s breakthrough Bonded-Pair cables are
the result of a patented design that bonds the
individual insulated conductors together along
their longitudinal axis. This unique physical
characteristic results in uniform conductor-to-
conductor spacing – a key aspect in consistent
electrical performance. Even when a Bonded-
Pair Modular Cord is subjected to everyday
handling stresses such as bending, coiling and
pulling, its conductor-to-conductor spacing
remains stable.
Features and Benefits
•
Made with Belden’s patented Bonded-Pair
cable for exceptional structural stability
and electrical performance in environments
where frequent moves, adds, and changes
are routine
•
Made with small diameter Bonded-Pair
cable for greater flexibility and higher
density installations
•
Solid conductors improve attenuation and
are needed in long patch cords and pigtails
to eliminate the need for cable derating in
open-office cabling
•
Built with improved strain relief and a
flexible boot for optimum protection in
high-density installations
•
Wrap-around label on each cord for easier
product identification and length sorting
Belden’s Bonded-Pair Cables offer uniform
conductor-to-conductor spacing even when
subjected to handling stresses.

Bonded-Pair Patch Cords
10GX, CAT6+ and CAT5E Bonded-Pair Modular Cords
The Bonded-Pair Advantage
in Modular Cords
A twisted-pair is comprised of two insulated
conductors. The center-to-center distance of the
copper within the two conductors of the pair, or
its centricity, is a key parameter that influences
the pair’s electrical performance
(see Figure 1).
Ideally, this distance should remain fixed and
stable along the length of the twisted pair.
Frequent handling stress applied to modular
cords disturbs this relationship and therefore
also affects the cable’s electrical performance.
The slightest manipulation of a nonbonded-pair
can cause gaps between the two conductors
of the pair.
Even minor disturbances in the spacing can
have a significant impact on the electrical
performance, particularly impedance, return
loss and crosstalk. Since the two conductors
of a Bonded-Pair cable are bonded together,
gaps cannot form in between the conductors.
The physical integrity of the pair is maintained,
resulting in consistent electrical performance.
The stresses of routine modular cord handling
will change the physical structure of a non-
bonded-pair cable. When cords are squeezed
and bent in pathways and cable managers, the
majority of the stress is distributed to the pairs
of the cable. The pairs must withstand this force
despite being manipulated - while, ideally,
maintaining a consistent centricity. Furthermore,
any kink in the cord’s cable also changes the
relationship of the conductors of a pair. For
these reasons, the electrical properties of a
nonbonded-pair cord can degrade over time
(see Figure 2).
In comparison, because of the robust design of
Bonded-Pair cords, concerns about stress and
bend radius are virtually eliminated. Bonded-
Pair Modular Cord cables boast significantly
higher maximum pulling tensions and tighter
bend radii over the recommended guidelines
to accommodate real-world installation issues.
Thus, the electrical performance of Bonded-Pair
Modular Cords experiences few changes over
time and use.

Only Belden Bonded-Pair Patch Cords maintain their Return Loss performance throughout each step
of the mechanical stress test; providing an exclusive performance advantage.
The integrity of cabling systems and entire
networks depends on the integrity of modular
cords; they are the weakest link in the channel.
When the performance of a simple cord in
the network is compromised, overall system
performance is jeopardized. Bonded-Pair
Modular Cords maintain their physical
integrity – and therefore their electrical
performance – even when subjected to handling
stresses in workstation outlets and patch panel
installations. This means less trouble-shooting
and downtime for the end-user.

A Bonded-Pair can be manipulated without
causing performance-robbing gaps
