Description

HCS DataLink 500A cable series consists of 100 Ohm impedance, 4-pair F/UTP cables for horizontal installations in local area networks (LANs). All cables fully conform to and provide a substantial margin above all Category 6A ScTP requirements of ANSI/TIA-568.2-E and Category 6A of IEC 61156-5. All cables fully support all IEEE 802.3 PoE applications including Type 1, 2, 3 & 4, CISCO UPoE & UPoE+ and HDBase-T PoH.

Application
HCS DataLink 500A Horizontal cables support all presently available and future LAN applications, including the following protocols:
☑ IEEE 802.3an 10GBASE-T 10 Gigabit Ethernet ☑ 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ☑ ATM 155 ☑ TP-PMD ☑ 100BASE-T "Fast Ethernet" ☑ 100BASE-T2 ☑ 100BASE-T4 ☑ 100BASE-TX ☑ Token Ring 100 Mbps ☑ ATM 52 ☑ ATM 25 ☑ 10BASE-T Ethernet ☑ Token Ring 4 Mbps and 16 Mbps ☑ Broadband and Baseband Video ☑ ISDN Basic and Primary Access ☑ 1BASE-5 Starlan ☑ ISALAN ☑ ITU V.21 and X.11
Qualifications and Approvals
HCS DataLink 500A Cables are tested and verified for full compliance with the following standards:
☑ Category 6A UTP according to ANSI/TIA-568.2-E. ☑ Category 6A according to IEC 61156-5.

Benefits & Features

→ Exceptional transmission properties - suitable for 10GBE applications on 100m channels. → Testing every reel of cable prior to shipment - providing the highest degree of quality assurance. → Exceptional material properties and cable design - providing a unique Century™ Lifetime Warranty. → High ACR values - providing low BER (Bit-Error-Rate) in all applications. → Extremely high pair-balance and 50µ aluminum shield - providing excellent EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) & outstanding alien-crosstalk loss, minimizing radiation and maximizing noise immunity. → Co-extruded crisp and clear spiral color coding of wires - providing positive wire identification and ease of installation. → Descending sequential meter mark - providing easy stock and left-over handling. → Batch number printed every meter - providing fast retrieval of test results from data-base. → Unique DoubleSafe™ Quality Assurance Program providing lowest rejection rate available.
