Siemon Launches Category 6 Patch Cords with Reduced Diameter Cable and Ultra-Slim Boot
Also featuring an enhanced low-profile boot, the new MC6 cords are side-stackable, supporting ultra high-density patching environments such as network switches and blade servers. The clear boot also provides an integrated “cantilevered” latch protection feature that not only limits snagging when removing cords, but also allows the latch to be operated from further back on the plug.
Said Dan Vout, marketing manager EMEA with Siemon (turt.co/tsc0582x) “This low profile design and extended latch allows easier installation and removal of the cords in high-density environments. Additionally, this ultra-slim boot delivers extremely robust cable strain relief, maintaining performance critical bend radius while maximizing flexibility and ensuring excellent cable retention.”
This strengthening feature, coupled with Siemon’s patented internal cross-pair metallic isolator and 360-degree crimp, maintains cable pair geometry and eliminates deformation, resulting in higher transmission performance.
The new RJ45 cords have also been enhanced with a unique colour-coding clip feature. Available in a variety of colours, these snap on clips can be added or removed while the plug is inserted or disengaged, allowing greater flexibility in patch field identification and management.
All Siemon MC6 patch cords are compatible with standards-based RJ45 outlets and meet IEC 60603-7 and FCC68.500 specifications, ensuring reliability and long-term resistance to humidity-based corrosion, extreme temperatures and airborne contaminants. This 100 per cent transmission-tested and UL-listed patch cord is also compatible with both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, which allows it to accommodate all applicable Ethernet applications. Featuring clear boots, the dual LS0H/CM rated cords are available in multiple colours and in standard lengths up to 7.5 metres.
