Signamax Connectivity Systems category 6A patch cords are designed to meet 10 Gigabit Ethernet IEEE 802.3an rev. 1.0 transmis-sion requirements, and are guaranteed to meet ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 channel performance. Cords are 100% transmission tested and support category 6A 100-meter channel performance. Assembled in a controlled environment using advanced manufacturing tech-niques to insure consistent quality these patch cords provide reliable performance when mated with our category 6A connecting hardware and deliver supreme performance for network cabling systems.
Signamax category 6A patch cords incorporate slim-profile snag-free boots, which protect the plug latch, and a flexible, but durable cable strain relief and are compatible with both T568A and T568B wiring schemes. Patch cords are manufactured using ETL-verified 26-AWG stranded cable designed for greater flexibility and service life.
