Belkin's New ETL-Verified CAT6a Cabling Solutions Enable 10-Gigabit Ethernet Network Performance.


Belkin CAT6a End-to-End Solutions Are Independently Verified to Meet TIA/EIA-568-B.2-10 Requirements in Both "Channel" and "Permanent Link" Configurations

COMPTON, Calif. -- Belkin today announced its ETL-Verified CAT6a cabling solutions, designed to enable 10-Gigabit-per-second connectivity in the data center and throughout a structured cabling Structured Cabling is defined as building or campus telecommunications cabling infrastructure that consists of a number of standardized smaller elements (hence structured) called subsystems.  system. The solution links 10GBase-T networking equipment using Belkin CAT6a patch cords, patch panels A group of sockets used to connect incoming and outgoing lines in communications and electronic systems. Patch panels allow for manually wiring the connections with small cables (patch cords), rather than automatic switching. , keystones, and bulk cabling.

Growing Ethernet bandwidth requirements are leading IT and facility managers to deploy 10GBase-T solutions and consolidate servers in an effort to maximize data center performance.

Belkin's CAT6a end-to-end solutions pass all TIA/EIA-568-B.2-10 requirements in both "channel" and "permanent link" configurations, including alien crosstalk, return loss, insertion loss, propagation delay, and delay skew (1) The misalignment of a document or punch card in the feed tray or hopper that prohibits it from being scanned or read properly.

.

CAT6a solution components include:

* Patch Cables (F2CP003) in various lengths: 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, and 25 ft.

* Bulk Cables (F2CP004-1000) in 1000 ft. reels: Stranded CM (F2CP004-1000) and Solid CMR CMR Crude mortality rate, see there  (F2CP005-1000); Cable Colors: Aqua, Black, and Gray

* Keystones (F2CP006-H) and Patch Panels (F4P F4P Football for Peace; University of Brighton, UK; sports program for Jewish and Arab children in northern Israel 600)

AVAILABILITY:

Features and Benefits:

* Compliant to industry standards - Official TIA/EIA-568-B.2-10 and ISO/IEC ISO/IEC International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ITU-T M 3000)  11801-compliant

* Meets all alien crosstalk reduction specifications - Not affected by wire in adjacent cable

* 10Gbps transmission to 100m for 10GBase-T applications

* Performance tested - Tested to exceed 500MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc.  

* CAT6a copper patch cables feature molded connectors with snagless guards - Make installations effortless and protect connector tabs from damage

* CAT6a copper patch cables feature gold-plated connector contacts - Deliver maximum conductivity for high-speed data transmissions

* Backward-compatible with CAT5e and CAT6

QUOTE:
