Smaller diameter, flexible cable design Tight bend radius enables improved cable routing and management in high density applications. Smaller cable diameter allows twice the amount of cords to be routed through cable managers and pathways compared to traditional Category 6A patch cords. Reduced cable diameter facilitates improved air flow, cooling, resulting in lower operating costs than traditional Category 6A patch cords Category 6A Performance Meets all Category 6A requirements (including alien crosstalk), with a cable diameter smaller than traditional Category 5e, 6 and 6A patch cords 100% performance tested for wire map, NEXT and return loss Confidence that each patch cord delivers critical electrical componentlevel performance Centered de-embedded plug performs in center of ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6A component range, ensuring interoperability and optimum performance Integral pair manager Optimizes performance and consistency by reducing untwist at plug Patented tangle-free latch Prevents snags and provides easy release, saving time on frequent moves, adds, and changes Identification label Provides identification of performance level, length, and quality control number for traceability Robust construction Plug contact plated with 50 microinches of gold and rated to 2500 mating cycles Variety of cable colors and lengths Meets individual length and color-coding requirements for greater system flexibility Available plug lock-in devices (optional) Plug lock-in and latch guard devices to prevent unauthorized or unintended removal of patch cords
