FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 7, 2009 – Bothell, WA: Leviton Network Solutions today announced the availability of its eXtreme® CAT 6A QuickPort® Connector, the industry's first Augmented Category 6 (CAT 6A) connector independently tested by Intertek/ETL to exceed component performance as defined by the ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2-10 standard.
Leviton developed proprietary internal technologies to achieve greater performance: the new connector uses patent-pending triple-stage compensation for enhancing permanent link and channel performance, and features a patented Cone of Silence® and metalized body which effectively eliminates alien crosstalk (AXT) between connectors in patching and work area applications. The connector adds these improvements without increasing size.
“The benefit of using Leviton’s CAT 6A Connectors is twofold”, explains Keith Kosanovich, RCDD, Leviton's senior product manager for copper systems. “We have designed and engineered a connector that achieves industry-leading CAT 6A performance without sacrificing density. This translates into real cost savings in required floor space for rack and cabinet applications.”
The eXtreme CAT 6A QuickPort connector is an integral component of Leviton’s complete CAT 6A component-rated system, which includes CAT 6A QuickPort and 110-style patch Ppnels, 110-style wiring blocks, and CAT 6A SlimLine patch cords. This advanced system provides guaranteed channel margins over the TIA standard in both short distances typically found in data center applications, and longer distances common in traditional enterprise applications to the work area. Category 6A components are fully backward compatible with all previous categories, including 6 and 5e, providing a smooth migration path to future high-speed applications such as 10GBASE-T.
Leviton’s CAT 6A QuickPort connectors are available through the company’s reseller network. More information is available online at www.leviton.com/CAT6a.
