HellermannTyton Color-Coded RapidNet Pre-Terminated Cabling

HellermannTyton RapidNet Category 6A and Category 6 unshielded solutions are now available with colored jacks for color-coding applications.

HellermannTyton announced new options for its patented RapidNet pre-terminated network cabling solutions line.

RapidNet Category 6A and Category 6 unshielded solutions are now available with colored jacks for color-coding applications. Available in both standard size and short-body RapidNet cassettes, ports are available in a choice of colors to help define network features such as routes, services, hierarchies, or security levels. In addition, colors can be used to define connections within a shared space such as in co-location data centers.

Both RapidNet 6A UTP and shielded 6A F/UTP solutions are designed to drastically reduce alien crosstalk (AXT) and to extend usable bandwidth up to 500MHz for 10Base-T applications. A patented contact set is designed to cancel near-end crosstalk (NEXT) at the point of insertion by providing capacitive compensation through a flexible PCB mounted onto the contact set.

HellermannTyton offers RapidNet in both fiber and copper. Copper solutions are available in Category 6 and 6A, in either a standard or short-body cassette design. When used with modular angled panels, short body cassettes maximize space by eliminating the need for horizontal cable management.

RapidNet features and benefits include:

• Versatile product offering that allows customization for structured cabling requirements
• Pre-termination that installation time by up to 85%
• Exceeds ANSI/TIA-568C specifications
• Factory-terminated and 100% tested for consistent performance
• Patented cassette design allows copper and fiber solutions within the same footprint
