CAT 6
The Category 6 performance standard is now well established as the premium performance level for structured Cabling. It is used for enterprises that require high speed data transmission for normal business applications.
The PowerCat™ 6 range of Category 6 UTP compliant products provide a high performance end-to-end UTP copper solution, designed to meet and exceed all relevant international performance standards, including TIA/EIA 568-B.2-1, ISO/IEC 11801 and AS/NZS 3080. Consisting of cable, patch panels, patch cords and work area modules, the PowerCat 6 solution provides a significant leap in performance and data transmission capability when compared to Category 5e.
Molex also provides an end-to-end Category 6 FTP solution known as the PowerCat™ 10G Shielded System. The PowerCat 10G Shielded System has been independently verified by Intertek ETL SEMKO as compliant with ISO/IEC TR24570 and TIA/EIA TSB-155 technical reports for the support of 10G BASE-T Channels and Permanent Links.
Highlights of the PowerCat 6 solution:
- Total end-to-end horizontal cabling solution
- Compliant to TIA/EIA 568-B.2-1, ISO/IEC 11801 and AS/NZS 3080
- Superior headroom to that of Category 5e performance
- Backwards compatible with Molex Category 5e systems – ensuring support for legacy applications
- Independently tested and verified
Superior product performance
The PowerCat 6 solution utilizes our RJ-45 DataGate Plus connector technology. The DataGate Plus jack features a patented ‘spring-loaded shutter’ providing protection from dust and contaminants, and the patented V-shaped IDC contacts improve installation speed and enhance cable retention. Designed to support high speed networks, cable and patch cords are available in both PVC or LSZH sheaths and an angled patching solution is available to support high density installations where communications room space is limited.
Independently tested
To ensure that our product consistently performs to the optimum performance we partnered with Intertek ETL SEMKO - the world’s largest product and commodities testing organization - to objectively test and verify the Channel and Link performance of the PowerCat 6 solution. Every 3 months, ETL randomly purchase Molex Category 6 products off the open market and tests them in channel environments to verify performance to the TIA/EIA 568-B and ISO/IEC 11801 standards. This testing is completed independently of Molex and in the event that any products fail, ETL verification status is removed. Our continuous affiliation to this program provides a further safety net to our customers, ensuring they always receive the best quality product.
