Molex Premise Networks` Category 6 network solution has been independently tested and certified for compliance to the draft Category 6 performance standard.
Leading international test house Delta Laboratories of Denmark has verified that PowerCat 6 meets the hardware link and channel specification for the Category 6 draft standard. The Molex range is one of the first to achieve such independent verification.
Molex Premise Networks Product Manager Carol Harris explains the company`s position: "Following the Sydney ISO meeting the parameters used to define a Category 6 (or Class E) channel were re-examined and agreement was reached. It is unlikely that these will be changed now, as a two-thirds majority vote would be needed. In the light of these developments we`ve decided that the time is right to rename our product PowerCat 6 to reflect its performance as one of the best `high bandwidth` structured cabling systems available."
PowerCat 6 not only meets the requirements of the draft Category 6 standard, but exceeds them in a number of important performance criteria, providing significant headroom for future expansion. PowerSum attenuation to cross talk ratio (ACR) is better than 10dB at 200MHz, and return loss is more than 15dB at 200MHz.
PowerCat 6 is a complete cabling network system comprising patch-panels, cords, outlets and connectors. Components are designed for reliability and ease of installation; for example patch panels come with integral cable management and multi-coloured patch cords have matching coloured boots. The range is backward compatible with the Molex Premise Networks PowerCat system, for Category 5e networks.
