OVERVIEW
The Signamax Category 6A Screened Patch Cords have been designed to meet the need for today’s high-bandwidth applications. These patch cords incorporate a slim profile snag-free boot design which protects the plug latch and offers greater flexibility. The cords are 100% transmission tested and support category 6A component level performance.
Manufactured using ETL verified 26-AWG stranded cable design to support a greater service life. Assembled in a controlled environment to ensure consistent quality, these patch cords provide reliable performance when mated with any category 6A connecting hardware and deliver supreme performance for network cabling systems.
