technical information

specifications

Category 6/Class E, UTP patch cords shall be constructed of

24 AWG unshielded twisted pair stranded copper cable with

an enhanced performance modular plug at each end. Patch

cord cable shall be offered in multiple colored UTP cable

for design flexibility with a clear strain relief boot on each

modular plug. All patch cords shall be compatible with both

T568A and T568B wiring schemes.

TX6™ PLUS UTP Patch Cords are a component of

TX6500™ and TX6000™ Copper Cabling Systems.

Interoperable and backward compatible, these end-

to-end systems provide design flexibility to protect

network investments well into the future. With

certified performance to the ANSI/TIA-568.2-D

Category 6 and ISO 11801 Class E standards, these

systems will support the following applications:

• Ethernet 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T (Fast

Ethernet), 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet),

10GBASE-T (10Gigabit Ethernet over limited

distances as specified in the industry

10GBASE-T standards)

• 155 Mb/s ATM, 622 Mb/s ATM, 1.2 Gb/s ATM

• Token ring 4/16

• Digital video and broadband/baseband

analog video

• Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)

*For lengths 1 to 20 feet (increments of one foot)

and 25, 30, 35, 40 feet, change the length

designation in the part number to the desired

length. For standard cable colors other than

Off White, add suffix BL (Black), BU (Blue),

GR (Green), RD (Red), YL (Yellow), OR

(Orange) or VL (Violet) before the Y at the end of

the part number. For example, the part number

for a blue 15-foot patch cord is UTPSP15BUY.

**For lengths 1 to 10 meters (increments of

1 meter) and 0.5,1.5, 2.5, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35,

40 meters, change the length designation in the

part number to the desired length. For standard

cable colors other than Off White, add suffix

BL (Black), BU (Blue), GR (Green), RD (Red),

YL (Yellow), OR (Orange) or VL (Violet) after

the M in the part number, For example, the

part number for a blue 15 meter patch cord

is UTPSP15MBUY.

^^To designate color, add suffix WH (White),

EI (Electric Ivory), IG (International Gray),

BL (Black), BU (Blue), RD (Red), YL (Yellow),

GR (Green), OR (Orange) or VL (Violet) before

-Q in the part number. 25/package.

^^^For colors other than Red, -BL (Black),

-BU (Blue), -GR (Green), -YL (Yellow), -IW

(Off White), or -IG (International Gray) to the

end of the part number. 10/package. Add -C for

bulk packages of 100.

Contact customer service for keyed connectivity,

bulk packaged jack modules and patch cords.

◊Lengths 1m to 15m or 6 inch to 49 feet are

guaranteed to meet TIA and ISO component

and channel requirements. Lengths greater than

15m or 49 feet are guaranteed to meet ISO

component and both TIA and ISO channel

requirements.
