In today’s high-density and complex

is more important than ever. Being able to
quickly and easily trace cables with instant
cable identification can dramatically reduce
downtime. Belden Traceable Bonded-Pair Patch
Cords allow today’s IT manager to ensure fast
and easy maintenance, and quick resolution
of mistakes and erroneous network connections
to save time and money.
Unique Features
Belden Traceable Bonded-Pair Patch Cords
have several unique features that make them a
exceptional alternative to other patch cords on the
market. They feature a highly-efficient and bright
LED with a battery life expectancy of seven years,
or 1,000 activations (battery is also replaceable).
When activated, the LED blinks for 20 seconds
and can be stopped at any time with a second
press of the button. The LED and its tracing
wires are integrated right into the patch cord,
eliminating the need for a separate power source.
Belden Traceable Bonded-Pair Patch Cords come
standard with a unique serial number and bar
code at each end. This code can be scanned using
mobile enabled DCIM systems to manage end-
to-end connectivity and inventory throughout
the enterprise. Because the cords are identified
and managed using a barcode they require no
additional physical equipment to solve the
challenge of enterprise connectivity management;
bringing true intelligence to patch management.
Belden worked with Cormant Inc. to develop this
feature and these cords are ready to be used as
part of an overall Cormant-CS mobile DCIM
solution as well as other IM systems.
Belden Traceable Bonded-Pair Patch Cords
feature an integrated exceptionally bright LED
light for easy identification. With just a simple
press of a button on the low-profile plug, the
LED flashes on both ends of the patch cord
for easy port identification. Offered in 10GX
(Category 6A) for 10 gigabit applications and
CAT6+ for gigabit applications, Belden Traceable
Bonded-Pair Patch Cords are ideal for tracing
server and switch connections in the data
center, congested outlet connections in open
office areas, and high-bandwidth connections
in mission critical applications like financial
and medical-grade networks.
