R&M Easy Line RJ45 patch cords

R&M has expanded its range of RJ45 patch cords for LAN environments with the Easy Line (EL) series of unshielded and shielded copper cables.

The cables come in four lengths (1, 2, 3 and 5 m) and seven different colours, suitable for use as basic equipment that complies with valid standards in generic cabling systems for commercial or residential buildings in applications up to 10G Ethernet.

The products are tested to ensure they achieve the transmission values for the Cat6 and Cat6A categories. All cords are labelled with their length, category, cable type and item number. Customisable products are available where length, wire design, shield termination and cable types as well as cable jacket labeling can all be individually configured.

The patch cord design has a high level of crosstalk reserves, where the shield termination is 360° around the cord and contacts every strand of the braided shield, ensuring protection against electromagnetic interference. The largest possible separation of conductors in the connector bodies also helps minimise crosstalk, while the position of the contacts remains constant, regardless of which type of conductor and wire cross-section is terminated. The assembly procedure is designed to ensure that there is no movement of, or damage to, the gold-plated contacts during crimping.

The Insulation Displacement Contact technology developed by the company ensures robust wire termination and low contact resistance.
