Cat 6A Flat QUICKPORT Patch Panels exceed all channel performance requirements in ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO 11801 Class EA from 1 MHz to 500 MHz to support the IEEE 802.3an standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over UTP cable. Patch panels are designed for use on standard 19-inch racks and cabinets. Panels include patented Retention Force Technology to promote consistent performance over the life of the system and the patented Cone of Silence, which eliminates alien crosstalk (AXT) from adjacent connectors. The unique configurable panel design allows for combining multiple QUICKPORT connectors to mix media (copper, fiber, coax) to meet specific customer requirements, and is designed for use in high-megabit applications such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
