Z-MAX 6A SHIELDED MODULAR CORDS

Product Resources

Specification Sheet for Copper Cable Assemblies

The Z-MAX patch cord is a primary driver of the Z-MAX systems' exceptional performance. The Z-MAX smart plug design features a printed circuit board (PCB), normally only found in outlets, to achieve high performance tuning. The PCB also allows the incorporation of advanced contact technology to provide decreased variability and greater reliability over traditional crimp-type plugs.

Combined with fully shielded alien crosstalk resistant cable construction and a host of innovative, user-friendly features, the shielded Z-MAX 6A modular cords are the ultimate category 6A cord.

Features

• Stranded modular cords feature category 7A S/FTP stranded cable for optimal transmission performance while effectively eliminating alien crosstalk
• Boots feature an ultra slim design for high-density applications
• Internal -PCB based rear contacts eliminate pair splitting and crossing to maintain cable pair geometry
• Patent pending PCB-based smart plug optimizes signal tuning for consistent, exceptional transmission performance
• Front contacts are preterminated to the -PCB, eliminating variable contact heights due to crimping
• Fixed-position front contacts ensure plug quality and consistent mating with outlets
• 360 degree shield coverage for exceptional shielding effectiveness
• Terminating pairs to the rear contacts on the PCB reduces the amount of pair untwisting, improving performance and consistency

Standards Compliance

• ANSI/TIA-568-B.2-10
• ISO/IEC 11801:2002 Amendment 1 (Class EA)
• IEEE 802.3an (10Gbase-T)
• IEEE 802.3af (PoE)
• IEEE 802.3at (PoE+)
• IEC 60603-7
• UL Listed 1863
• TIA-968-A (formerly FCC Part 68 Subpart F)

RoHS Compliant
