Category 6A/Class EA, UTP, small diameter patch cords are constructed of 28 AWG, unshielded, twisted pair, solid copper (dual-rated CM/LSZH) cable with high performance RJ45 modular plugs. Patch cords are offered in multiple lengths and colors for design flexibility.Smaller diameter, flexible cable designTight 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 cordsCategory 6A PerformanceMeets all Category 6A requirements (including alien crosstalk), with a cable diameter smaller than traditional Category 5e, 6 and 6A patch cords100% performance tested for wire map, NEXT and return lossConfidence that each patch cord delivers critical electrical component-level performance Centered de-embedded plug performs in center of ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6A component range, ensuring interoperability and optimum performanceIntegral pair managerOptimizes performance and consistency by reducing untwist at plugPatented tangle-free latchPrevents snags and provides easy release, saving time on frequent moves, adds, and changesIdentification labelProvides identification of performance level, length, and quality control number for traceabilityRobust constructionPlug contact plated with 50 microinches of gold and rated to 2500 mating cyclesVariety of cable colors and lengthsMeets individual length and color-coding requirements for greater system flexibilityAvailable plug lock-in devices (optional)Plug lock-in and latch guard devices to prevent unauthorized or unintended removal of patch cords.
