PoE
PowerCat 6A system is suitable for the most demanding PoE applications: IEEE 802.3bt from Type 1 to Type 4, and CISCO UPoE+ HD Base-T PoH up to 100W RP3 compliant as defined by EN 50174-2:2018, ISO/IEC 14763-2:2019 and AS/NZS 14763.2:2020
Notes: For new installations of PoE Type 3 / Class 5 and above that wish to be eligible for the Molex 25 year Application Assurance Warranty, we require Category 6A cable to be used throughout. To confirm your PoE / RP3 cabling design is eligible for the Molex 25 year Application Assurance Warranty, your design must be verified and validated with the Molex PoE Calculator. Read more https://www.molexces.com/poe-calculator Molex recommends that the PoE feature on an individual switch port are power disabled prior to unplugging the associated powered Device. Molex recommends that the full range of PowerCat 6A products be used in a system to maximize cabling and PoE performance Details on Molex requirements for Warranty can be found at https://www.molexces.com/about-us/ our-warranty/
