Snap-In Connector CAT6A

Application

Nexans CAT6A Evo Snap-In Connectors are manufactured and tested to the latest Category 6A specifications defined in the International and American cabling standards and are designed to meet or exceed the stringent quality and performance criteria needed to support all applications up to 500 MHz, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
A fully closed metal rear cover providing 360 degrees shielding offers excellent coupling attenuation and ensures immunity from Alien Crosstalk and other external interferences.
Channels built with CAT6A cables and jacks do not need on site testing for Alien Crosstalk, as this parameter is met by design. This significantly reduces the installation cost for 10G network cabling.

• 10 BASE-T Ethernet
• 100 BASE-T Fast Ethernet
• 1000 BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet
• 10G BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet IEEE 802.3
• 155 Mbit ATM
• 1.2 Gbit ATM
• PoE++ Type 4 (IEEE 802.3bt) including IEC 60512-9-3/ed.2 (test 9c) and IEC 60512-99-002/ed.1 draft (test 99b)
• Future Cat 6A and Class EA applications

Design

Nexans CAT6A Evo Snap-In connectors are designed to match with CAT6A cable and patch cords and to complement all CAT6A modular components, such as:

• Snap-In patch panels (fixed, sliding and angled) and Zone Distribution Boxes
• Snap-In outlet modules (UK, US, European and German style)

Performance

Nexans CAT6A Evo connectors meet or exceed the requirements for Category 6A connecting hardware as described in ISO/IEC 11801, IEC 60603-7-51 and EIA/TIA 568-C.2.
In conjunction with CAT6A cable they support all 2, 3 and 4 connector models as specified in these standards, as well as very short link and channel configurations which are increasingly required in Data Centre environments.

Installation

The wire organiser guarantees fast and easy termination of the CAT6A Evo Snap-In connector without the need for a punchdown tool. An optional comfort tool (N420.567) can be used to increase the ease of installation.
A stranded version is available for CP to TO links.

Guarantees

The CAT6A Evo Snap-In performance is guaranteed to meet or exceed the requirements of the above mentioned standards.

Traceability codes on both connector and packaging ensure quality validation.

Installations with CAT6A cable and connectivity are qualified for a 25 year full system warranty, which includes Parts, Installation, Channel Performance and Application Support, as described in the Nexans Certified System Warranty.
