UTP Copper Cabling
System with MaTriX Technology (70 meter solution) for increased design flexibility
MaTriX Technology Provides superior suppression of both PSANEXT and PSAACR-F; improves
the installation flexibility by allowing cable combing in existing pathways
without compromising performance
100% performance tested Confidence that each patch cord delivers specified performance
Superior headroom warranty Provides the highest margins above the industry standard for both electrical and
alien crosstalk performance
Flexible cable design Improved cable management in high density applications enabling
easier installations
Center de-embedded plug Performs in center of ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 component range ensuring
interoperability and superior performance
Integral pair manager Optimizes performance, consistency, and reliability by reducing untwist at plug
Patented tangle-free latch Prevents snags and provides easy release, saving time and providing reliability
on frequent moves, adds, and changes
Slender strain relief boot Provides easy access in high-density applications
Robust construction Rated to 2500 mating cycles
Identification Provides identification of performance level, length, and quality control
number for future traceability
Variety of cable colors Meets individual length and color-coding requirements for greater
and lengths system flexibility
Key version available Color-specific keys with positive and negative keying features mechanically
and visually distinguish connections to prevent unintentional insertion into
unlike keyed or non-keyed ports, offering network design flexibility, versatility,
and accommodating discrete networks for enhanced security
Color bands (optional) Snap onto cable, allowing additional color-coding options
RJ45 plug lock-in device Secures plug into jack to prevent unauthorized removal of patch cord

Category 6A/Class E
A
, UTP patch cords shall be constructed of
24 AWG stranded copper cable with an enhanced performance
modular plug on each end. Copper conductors in patch cable shall
be twisted in pairs and separated by a quadrant separator. All four
pairs shall be surrounded by matrix tape and a flame retardant
jacket. The patent pending matrix tape shall suppress alien crosstalk
and allow 10 Gb/s transmission. Patch cord cable shall be offered
in multiple colors and lengths for design flexibility with a strain relief
boot on each modular plug. All patch cords shall be compatible with
both T568A and T568B wiring schemes.
