LANmark-6 Patchcords
•
•
•
•
•
Complies with the latest Category 6 standards
Uses Nexans cable technology
Fully matched with other components for maximum performance
Unscreened & Screened or Ultim
LSZH Flame retardant jacket as standard
Description
Application
LANmark-6 patchcords can be used to deliver a full end-to-end Class
E solution.
LANmark-6 Ultim cords offer superior performance and deliver an
additional 6dB channel ACR headroom. They can also be used for
accurate field testing of channel performance. They provide improved
data throughput and allows for the inclusion of a cross-connect or
Consolidation Points for maximum system flexibility. They will also
maximise the lifetime and long term performance of the system by
minimising the risk of wear & tear damage which can be caused by
using non-matched cords
• High Speed Multimedia patchcords
Installation
• Small cross section allows neat installation and simplifies the
creation of bundles in cabinets.
• A Low Smoke Halogen Free - Flame Retardant jacket is standard.
• 1, 2, 3 and 5m are standard lengths, other lengths are available on
demand.
• 15 m is standard length for single end patchcord. Other lengths are
available on demand.
• Orange and dark grey are standard.
• Rugged construction.
