Overview

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.
