Benefits of a Sall Diaeter Category 6A Copper Cabling Syste The Panduit TX6A-SD Gig UTP Copper Cabling Syste with MaTriX Technology is a cost effective, sall diaeter Category 6A UTP cabling syste that is fully copliant up to 7 eters (3 feet). This high perforance cabling syste is coprised of unshielded twisted pair horizontal cable and patchcords which utilize 6 AWG copper conductors and patent pending MaTriX Technology to suppress alien crosstalk. MaTriX Technology in the cable, cobined with the split foil MaTriX Technology and advanced connector copensation techniques in the TX6A Gig UTP Jack Modules result in guaranteed headroo argin well above industry standard requireents. The resulting channel perforance eliinates the tie and cost associated with cubersoe alien crosstalk field testing, providing an optiized alternative for deploying GBASE-T channel links up to 7 eters. MaTriX Technology The patent pending MaTriX Technology ebedded in the TX6A-SD Gig Cabling Syste is constructed of discontinuous etallic eleents that provide a very high degree of alien crosstalk suppression. This UTP cabling syste rivals the perforance of a shielded syste without the need for bonding and grounding and eliinates the concern for shield current flow arising fro ground potential differences. About 6 AWG Category 6A Cabling Most Category 6A cabling utilizes 3 AWG copper conductors in the cable. Industry standard ANSI/TIA-568-C. generically specifies AWG horizontal cable with 6 AWG patch cable. The priary difference between saller and larger wire gauges is signal attenuation: the attenuation of a 6 AWG cable at 7 eters is siilar to that of 3 AWG cable at eters, with all electrical paraeters of a Category 6A coponent and channel requireents being et. A 6 AWG syste significantly reduces the diaeter of the cable (5% saller area than allowed by industry standards) and results in a cabling syste that is easier to install and anage with all electrical paraeters of a Category 6A coponent and channel requireents being et. With less copper, the 6 AWG cabling syste becoes a cost effective option, and with the MaTriX Technology it provides a high perforance Category 6A cabling syste. Key Features Risk Mitigation Agility and Flexibility Reduced CapEx Benefits Advanced connectivity and cable design provide significant headroo argin above Category 6A and Class E A standards, eliinating the tie and cost associated with alien crosstalk field testing. Scalable and odular syste provides clear igration path to next generation application deands. Supports a wide range of data center architectures and applications and allows bundling and co-ingling with other copper category cables. Maxiizes real estate utilization through high-density physical infrastructure solutions cobined with leading data center reference architectures. Also available in pre-terinated solutions, reducing installation tie by up to 75%. Brownfield Installation The sall diaeter allows for sealess igration fro BASE-T to GBASE-T applications through utilization of existing pathways and cable anagers installed for Category 6 or 5e cabling systes. Reduced OpEx Greenfield Installation Maxiizes real estate utilization through high-density physical infrastructure solutions cobined with leading data center reference architectures. Iproves energy efficiency through better airflow anageent due to saller, effectively shaped cabling. www.panduit.co
