RapidNet - time-saving, virtually risk-free pre-terminated copper and fibre cabling system designed to increase installer productivity, providing the end user with consistent high quality conditions.Cat 6A RapidNet - Deca10
11th March 2008
Cat 6a is the evolution of UTP cabling to support 10G and more bandwidth when compared to Cat 6. The growing need for faster data transmission and stable performance across a wider frequency range has given rise to Cat 6a (the ‘a’ is for augmented). Due to be ratified in the coming weeks, Cat 6a will be available at 500 MHz and can support up to 10 Gigabits per second on copper.
ICS Limited is proud to announce the launch of HellermannTyton's new Deca10 system. The system offers both copper and fibre products to support your 10G installation; making it ideally suited to Data Centres, Server Farms, Storage Area Networks (SAN), High Performance Cluster (HPC) Networks and Workstation Environments (WSE).
Deca10 supports the latest revision of the proposed TIA/EIA Category 6A standards with speeds of up to 10,000,000,000 Bits per second and up to 500MHz in both copper and fibre helping to future proof the installation. The biggest advantages will be seen where either fast or large scale data transfer rates are essential for the running of your business.
The copper section of the Deca10 system is manufactured using our S-FTP Cat6A cable and can be supplied as either a single keystone or as HellermannTyton's world class RapidNet fast fit system which can reduce installation times of up to 85% compared to traditional shielded installations. Also as a shielded installation, a higher density of cabling can be achieved.
The Deca10 RapidNet cassette is pre-terminated with 6 Deca10 keystone jacks earthed to a plate within the cassette. The earth plate in the cassette then makes contact with the earth points on the Deca10 RapidNet panel. The Deca10 cassette is manufactured with a simple push clip mechanism and polarising pips to prevent incorrect insertion.
The Deca10 RapidNet panel accommodates four 6-way Deca10 cassettes, allowing 24 Cat6A connections per 1U of space. The integral earthing plate grounds each cassette helping to guarantee 10G performance by giving continuity of the 360° shielding.
The Deca10 copper keystone has been designed to be ‘non-punchdown’. All 8 terminations are made at once using a special high speed termination tool, helping to ensure quality and consistency of the connections and speeding up the termination process. Deca10 also supports backwards compatibility to Cat6, Cat5E and Cat5 by using standard RJ45 shielded connectors.
