Belden ® DataTwist ®
4800 Cables
DataTwist 4800 UTP Cables provide
significant headroom and robust
data transmission performance for
today’s most demanding applications.
The cables support the industry’s
most powerful Category 6 networking
solution: Belden IBDN System 4800.
Belden’s DataTwist 4800
Cables Exceed TIA/EIA
Requirements and Offer
Significant Headroom
Over Category 6
DataTwist 4800 Cable
If your business is looking to the future, and
investing in best-in-class technologies is part
of your IT strategy, you need the performance
and reliability delivered by DataTwist 4800
Cables. These enhanced Category 6 cables
were conceived to support the most
demanding multi-Gigabit protocols
and networking applications.
DataTwist 4800 Cables consist of 4 pairs
of 23 AWG insulated copper conductors,
incorporating a unique central spline which
separates and holds the twisted pairs of the
cable firmly in position at a uniform distance
from each other. This design provides improved
Power Sum Crosstalk performance in comparison to conventional cables where the twisted
pairs can nest into each other and change position during manufacturing or handling. The end
result is very stable transmission performance
that is more resilient to installation variables.
Depending on your application requirements,
DataTwist 4800 Cables can be specified in either
Nonbonded-Pair design or in Belden’s exclusive
Bonded-Pair construction. All DataTwist 4800
Cables are designed to provide low Insertion
Loss (low signal Attenuation). This characteristic
enables increased signal power over a higher
range of frequencies. This strong signal
translates into maximum headroom and more
robust transmission for today’s applications as
well as a capacity for those of tomorrow’s
networks. The higher signal power of DataTwist
4800 Cables also results in a higher PSACR.
With this higher ratio, 4800 Cables are able to
provide fewer transmission errors and higher
data rate capability.
Belden DataTwist 4800 Cables are part of the
Belden IBDN 4800 System. The Belden 4800
System provides 300 MHz of channel bandwidth
and a data rate of 4.8 Gb/s, giving you a high
performance system to support today’s
demanding network applications as well
as the evolving bandwidth hungry
applications of tomorrow.

Select Bonded-Pair or
Nonbonded-Pair Construction
Belden provides the option of ordering
DataTwist 4800 Cables in either Bonded-Pair
or in Nonbonded-Pair constructions. The
choice will depend on the type of signals
supported, the critical nature of the
information transmitted, and the stability
of the networking environment.
Belden’s Bonded-Pair Cables feature a
patented design in which the individual
conductors are securely bonded along their
longitudinal axis to guarantee uniform
spacing within each twisted pair – a key
factor in maintaining consistently high
electrical performance.
Because Belden’s Bonded-Pair Cables have
better centricity and symmetry, they
provide improved return loss and balance
performance. Superior transverse conversion
loss (TCL), capacitance unbalance and
radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) create
noise and signal transmission problems
• High frequency applications in which
Nonbonded-pair
return loss can affect signal integrity
In stable networking environments, Belden’s
standard DataTwist 4800 Cables will perform
reliably to exceed TIA/EIA Category 6
standards. When the application calls for
a more robust solution, Belden Bonded-Pair
DataTwist 4800 Cables will provide superior
integrity and electrical performance from
the reel to real life – through all the
stresses of installation and post-installation
maintenance. Belden calls this unique
capability Installable Performance®.
Bonded-Pair
Installed and manipulated nonbonded-pairs (left) have
a tendency to gap, varying the centricity of the two
conductors. Belden Bonded-Pairs (right) do not gap
so the physical integrity of the pair is maintained.
