Category 6 Pre-terminated Trunk Assemblies help to reduce significantly both time and cost of a category 6 cabling installation. Terminated and tested in a controlled manufacturing environment, cut to the customer pre-ordered lengths, and ready to install in a patch panel, trunk assemblies eliminate all these operations in the field making your job easy and efficient. Trunk cable assemblies can be provided in an unscreened (U/UTP) and screened (F/UTP) versions in either in a jack-to-jack, jack-to-plug, or jack-to-blunt cut configurations to support the widest range of applications. Cables can be used with any field-configurable patch panel (screened assemblies are not compatible with 48U-HDMMP-1R panels only).
For length substitute XXX for length in feet. Minimum length is 10 ft. Maximum length is 295 ft.
Unscreened cable color is blue. Screened cable is gray. Other colors are available.
Standard cable is straight-cut for either left or right cable exit. Staggered-cut cables are available.
For plenum-rated (CMP) cable substitute P for R in P/N.
ANSI/TIA-568-C.2: meets or exceeds category 6 (1-250 MHz) permanent link specifications
NOTE: All cable trunks require field testing after installation
