DataTwist 1200 Cables

Provide Excellent Mechanical

and Electrical Performance

for Category 5e Networks

If your business is riding the wave of

growth and expansion, you may be considering

new ways of doing business and therefore a

new or upgraded IT system to support these

strategies. This is the ideal time to plan and

implement new cabling or to upgrade your

existing infrastructure.

The DataTwist 1200 Cable was developed

to support high-speed network applications

such as Gigabit Ethernet, and has guaranteed

performance up to 350 MHz. Ideal for

supporting up to 1000BaseT, this cable

was designed to exceed current standards,

providing built-in margin and optimizing

network performance.

The DataTwist 1200 Cable consists of 4 pairs

of 24 AWG insulated copper conductors with a

round flexible core construction. The patented

design features matched conductors on all

four pairs, which provides for extremely stable

electrical performance. All DataTwist 1200

cables feature a small diameter (less than 0.2 in.)

for higher density installations - especially

valuable for runs inside conduit. For the

installer, the DataTwist Cables come with a

unique descending sequential printing scheme

that shows exactly how much cable remains

on the spool or in the box. And that translates

into faster installations with less waste.

Belden DataTwist 1200 Cables are part of the

Belden IBDN System 1200. Belden IBDN System

1200 substantially exceeds all requirements for

Category 5e channels per the TIA/EIA-568-B.2

standard. Certified to support data rates up to

1.2 Gb/s for a system with a bandwidth of

160 MHz, the 1200 Solution provides the

advanced performance required to fully support

today’s broad spectrum of business applications

and the extended bandwidth required to

support future growth.
