Category 6A Pre-terminated Trunk Assemblies help to reduce significantly both time and cost of a cabling installa-tion. Terminated and tested in a controlled manufacturing environment, cut to the customer pre-ordered lengths, and ready to install in a patch panel, trunk assemblies eliminate all these operations in the field making your job easy and efficient. Trunk cable assemblies can be provided in an unscreened (U/UTP) and screened (F/UTP) ver-sions in a jack-to-jack or jack-to-blunt cut configurations to support the widest range of applications. Cables can be used with any field-configurable patch panel (screened assemblies are not compatible with 48U-HDMMP-1R pan-els only).
Ready-to-use product - cable bundles are ready for installation and require no additional termina-tion operations except the one-ended designs
Solid cable and keystone jacks used in the assembly meet and exceed category 6A specifications
Pre-tested at the factory per ANSI/TIA-568-C.1 requirements
All cable legs are labeled at both ends for easy identification and aligning in the field
Each cable bundle is enclosed in a CMR- or CMP-rated mesh sleeve that retains the bundle and pro-tects it during installation
Mesh sleeve is fixed by heat-shrink tubing that can be used as an anchor point when cable pulling is needed
Compatible with all Signamax field-configurable patch panels (screened cables are not compatible with 48U-HDMMP-1R only)
