Features Patch Cords are used in the work area and cross-connect generic cabling applications Comprise a length of eight-wire flexible patch cable, terminated with two eight-position RJ-45 plugs at each end Patch cords are constructed from RJ-45 plugs with assembled boot for enhanced life and reliability Slim design supporting high density environment Latch protection unique design for preventing cables snagging beneath the plug latch Conforms to ANSI/TIA-568-C.2, ISO/IEC 11801 2.1 edition and CENELEC EN50173 (2007) for Category 6A/CLASS E A standards 100% tested at the factory Available in a variety of lengths and colors Data Sheet Page 1 of 7
Description The SMARTen STP Patch Cord conforms to ANSI/TIA-568-C.2, ISO/IEC 11801 2.1 edition and CENELEC EN50173 (2007) for Category 6A/CLASS E A. It has been tested up to 500 MHz, Comprised of flexible patch cable and terminating with two modular plugs. The system is designed to support protocols running at up to IEEE 802.3an 10Gbps, 1000 Mbps, such as ATM 622 Mbps and Gigabit Ethernet. SMARTen STP Patch Cable The SMARTen STP Patch Cable is a 100 ohm, double-shielded cable, designed for high data rates for indoor installations. The cable is housed in LSZH jacket with a tinned-copper braid shield, and includes four individually shielded twisted pairs. SMARTen Modular Plug The SMARTen Plug is field-terminatable, with superior cable retention providing enhanced pull-strength and preventing pair deformation. The plug is designed to ensure precision wire placement, providing superior performance. With RiT's Precesion Placement Technology TM (PPT), the SMARTen Plug ensures highrepeatability Cross-Talk performance, with both factory and field termination. PPT enables Category 6A performance under any field condition. The connectors have 8 contacts, and accommodate termination of 24 AWG and 26 AWG solid and stranded conductors. Data Sheet Page 2 of 7
