• Ready-to-use product – cable bundles are ready for installation and require no additional termina-tion operations except the one-ended designs
• Solid cable and keystone jacks used in the assembly meet and exceed category 6 specifications
• Pre-tested at the factory per ANSI/TIA-568-C.1 requirements
• All cable legs are labeled at both ends for easy identification and aligning in the field
• Each cable bundle is enclosed in a CMR- or CMP-rated mesh sleeve that retains the bundle and pro-tects it during installation
• Mesh sleeve is fixed by heat-shrink tubing that can be used as an anchor point when cable pulling is needed
• Compatible with all Signamax field-configurable patch panels (screened cables are not compatible with 48U-HDMMP-1R only)
