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 cables to be routed through cable managers and pathways compared to traditional Category 6 patch cable. Reduced cable diameter facilitates improved air flow, cooling, resulting in lower operating costs than traditional Category 6 patch cables 100% performance tested for wire map, NEXT and return loss Confidence that each patch cord delivers critical electrical component level performance Centered de-embedded plug performs in center of ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6 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 Flexible stranded cable U/UTP stranded 28 AWG copper cable with a nominal diameter of 0.150 in. (3.8mm) allows for high density installations and superior panel cable management Dual rated Same patch cord meets CM and LSZH flame ratings; less material is more eco-friendly Identification Provides identification of performance level, length, and quality control number for future 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 RJ45 plug lock-in device (optional) Secures plug into jack to prevent unauthorized removal of patch cord
