Similarly, IT directors of corporate networks have to balance the increased bandwidth requirements with day-to-day challenges such as reducing "cable clutter" and accommodating connections in space-constrained areas using office furniture, wireless access points (WAPs), and Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices.
With the new high-flexibility Cat 6A patch cords, which are part of Leviton's Cat 6A system, the COFITEL Group meets the network performance needs and space requirements of managers worldwide.
“Leviton has a long history of innovating high-flexibility patch cables,” says Kirk Krahn, senior product manager at Leviton Network Solutions. “More than ten years ago, we introduced small-diameter 28 AWG patch cables for Cat 5e and Cat 6 applications, and we’ve continued to expand and improve our product offering ever since. Now, the new Cat 6A solution helps network managers meet the requirements of emerging applications such as wireless, smart building technologies, and PoE, while maintaining the same flexibility with larger bend radii and support for data rates up to 10 Gbps.”


Features of the new Leviton Cat 6A High-Flex Patch Cords
: • Reduced space required for bend radius – The reduced plug and high-flex boot minimize the space required in applications with limited depth behind WAPs, back boxes, and cabinets.
• Low-profile design for easier installation and maintenance – The 28 AWG construction simplifies handling during installation, as well as when moving, adding, and changing patch systems.
• Increased airflow for improved performance and reduced cooling costs – The 4.7 mm outer diameter reduces cable thickness in distribution frames, racks, and cabinets. This also increases airflow and helps minimize cooling costs.
• A global solution across multiple regions – Leviton Cat 6A High-Flex Patch Cords are available in Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) and CM models, providing a simple, globally designed solution for all regions worldwide.
• Immediate availability in a wide range of lengths and colors – These patch cords are available in seven colors, with in-stock lengths from 0.3 to 6.1 meters for immediate shipment and lengths up to 30 meters for made-to-order (MTO) with fast turnaround.
• Universal solution – The patch cord's design and metal housing allow the same cord to perform exceptionally well in shielded and UTP applications.
