Molex globally Launches PowerCat 6A
11/03/08
In the current bandwidth hungry climate and ever-emerging technologies, never before has the need for superior performing network solutions been more critical. Molex’s latest addition to the PowerCat™ range is its 6A Shielded solution, designed to meet and exceed such demanding applications by fully supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet / 10GBASE-T /IEEE 802.3an with the advantage of being fully backwards compatible for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, and 1000BASE-T. In addition, the system offers superior alien crosstalk mitigation and excellent insertion loss that surpasses all unshielded systems.
The PowerCat 6A end-to-end solution consists of Category 6A shielded patch panels, both straight and angled, cable, patch cords and the new die-cast Datagate™ shielded 6A jack. The robust 24 port and 48 port 6A shielded patch panels are supplied with rear cable management trays for cable strain relief and neat dressing, and the angled panel provides enhanced port access, also minimising patch cord bend radius whilst eliminating the need for horizontal cable rack managers, freeing up that all important rack space.
Molex’s PowerCat 6A Shielded Solution, in particular the robust die cast zinc alloy body housing of the Datagate jack protects against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and features the unique Datagate spring loaded shutter that not only protects from dust and contaminants, but the ingenious design ejects improperly seated patch cords. This makes the PowerCat 6A shielded solution ideal for healthcare, government, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and other environments where EMI may be present and data security is paramount. The Datagate shielded jack has been specifically designed for high-speed data transmissions, with typical applications including data centres, storage area networks, server farms, riser backbones, and beyond.
The PowerCat 6A solution is the ideal enterprise structured cabling choice for business enterprises looking to secure network performance for the future.
