Molex PowerCat 6 Solid U/UTP Cable Assemblies are designed for implementation in Category 6 installations, where Consolidation Points or Cross Connect equipment cords are required. The product is available in PVC and LS0H Solid Cable to meet all requirements within the LAN and Data Centre environments.
The PowerCat 6 Solid U/UTP Cable Assemblies are factory tested and feature RJ45 plugs and cable strain relief boots to prevent the vulnerable plug termination point from damage when the cable is curved, thus ensuring maximum performance. RJ45 plugs are terminated in 568B sequence.
The product is supplied with both ends terminated and tested, allowing the installer to cut the assembly in half for termination to the IDC.
