Warren and Brown Technologies Mini CAT6A S/FTP (shielded) patch cords

Click2Contact

Warren and Brown Technologies has released the Mini CAT6A S/FTP (shielded) patch cords, which deliver the same level of performance as standard diameter Category 6A (CAT6A) shielded patch cords while being approximately 15% smaller in diameter.

The smaller patch cords are designed for networks in buildings such as data centres, and in healthcare and educational facilities. CAT6A patch cords support data rates of 10 G up to 100 m and a bandwidth of up to 500 MHz, but traditionally are larger in diameter than CAT6 patch cords, and may cause congestion in racks. With a smaller diameter the mini patch cords help to reduce congestion in a rack and around patching fields. This provides better airflow and improved usability, while still allowing for high-speed 10 G transmissions as per ISO/IEC 11801.

The smaller patch cords are also suitable for helping to futureproof building networks. By installing CAT6A infrastructure now for new installations, the cabling system can provide enhanced performance for Power over Ethernet (PoE and PoE+) as well as support wireless systems that rely on 10 G.
