CommScope launches New Category 6A

CommScope, Inc unveils a series of products-four new Category 6A/ Class EA panels to its SYSTIMAX GigaSPEED X10D, Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Solutions. It has launched four panels viz 1100GS6, 1100GS6 Angled, 1100GS6 iPatch and PATCHMAX GS6. These products support modular panel system while accomodating various connector designs including the unshielded multi-connector modules.

Category 6A/ Class EA unshielded panels are built on the evolve panel platform. This helps in upgrading iPatch intelligent panels without any network disruptions and also controls unshielded physical layer infrastructure. Customers can have the choice to design 100-meter channels as well as short channel configurations with 1-meter cords and 3- or 5-meter cables, offering flexibility and minimizing excess cable and patch cord lengths for data center applications. This design freedom, combined with improved installation time, makes deploying infrastructure for 10GBASE-T simpler.

“The new GS6 panels offer additional network design flexibility and intelligence options supporting 10G BASE-T over UTP,” said Morgan Kurk, senior vice president, Enterprise Intelligent Buildings, CommScope. “Our SYSTIMAX solutions include iPatch or iPatchready options, allowing users to choose intelligence upfront or upgrade to intelligence later as their needs change.”
