American Tech Supply carries a complete selection of CAT 6-Category 6 connectivity solutions including CAT 6 Inserts, CAT 6 Jacks, and CAT 6 Patch Panels available from several manufacturers including ICC CAT 6 Inserts and ICC CAT 6 patch panels. Our precision designed Category 6 patch cords provide a powerful 250MHz of bandwidth. They minimize near-end crosstalk and are backward compatible with slower protocols. Each patch cord is created with a slender, snagless, molded strain relief boot to provide easy access in high-density installations. These patch cords are perfect for Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and other speed-critical applications. All patch cords are individually tested for peak performance and are available in various lengths and colors. ETL Certified
The outstanding performance exceeds the high-speed data requirements for the Category 6- CAT 6 standard. The connector includes a one-piece termination cap that reduces installation time by simultaneously terminating all 4 pairs.

Category 6 (CAT 6) technology is rapidly growing in the telecommunications industry’s commercial market. CAT 6 has been under development since late 1997. Originally, the wiring was intended to go from the 100 MHz capability of CAT 5 to 200 MHz, but later that was revised to 250 MHz. CAT 6 provides for other metrics as well, variables that become important at high bandwidth rates. These include crosstalk, or interference between wire pairs, and skew, the difference in timing of signals on the wires.

CAT 6 is the latest type of four pair twisted copper cable designed for high speed data transmission. CAT 5 was initially touted as the last cable you'll ever need, but then came Gigabit Ethernet, which pushed the technology to its limits and used all four pairs of wires in the cable. So, manufacturers started making, "enhanced", versions of the cable (hence the "E”).

Bandwidth precedes data rates just as highways come before traffic. Doubling the bandwidth is like adding twice the number of lanes on a highway. The trends of the past and the predictions for the future indicate that data rates have been doubling every 18 months. Current applications running at 1 Gb/s are really pushing the limits of Category 5E cabling. As streaming media applications such as video and multi-media become increasingly commonplace, the demands for faster data rates will increase and spawn new applications that will benefit from the higher bandwidth offered by Category 6. This is exactly what happened in the early ’90s when the higher bandwidth of Category 5 cabling compared to Category 3 caused most local area network (LAN) applications to choose the better media to allow simpler, cost effective, higher speed LAN applications, such as 100BASE-TX. It is also important to note that cabling infrastructure is generally considered a 10 year investment as opposed to one or three years for electronics or software. There are several decisions to consider when specifying and designing a Category 6 (CAT 6) structured wiring system. In the end, the most important decision for every contractor and installer is that they must install a reliable system that achieves CAT 6 performance. CAT 6 component-rated structured wiring products are the best choice for a CAT 6 system.

To achieve a component-rated CAT 6 system, every component of the system must be component compliant and backwards compatible. (see Figure 1) The modular connectors, patch panels, patch cords, and cable must be tested individually, and each must show their own test results to ensure that the system will meet TIA/EIA 568-B.2-1 CAT 6 standards. In addition, TIA specifies that each of the CAT 6 components must be backwards compatible. In order to achieve backwards compatibility, each component must be component compliant and will be able to work with lower category rated components. What this means is that mating a Category 6 patch panel with a Category 5e patch cord will result in Category 5e performance. And this means that mating a Category 6 patch panel with a Category 3 patch cord will result in Category 3 performance. The benefit for backwards compatibility allows the contractor and installer greater flexibility with an open architecture system, so they can easily change any component without the cost of changing the entire system. Another key benefit of backwards compatibility is vendor independence. Using different brands of CAT 6 products in one system gives contractors and installers greater flexibility when specifying and purchasing CAT 6 products. CAT 6 components being manufactured today must meet the requirements established by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)–not only for CAT 6 performance compliance, but also for interoperability between different vendors’ products. A tuned system does have advantages and is proven to produce superior results.

If my installation is designed for CAT 6 link compliance, am I okay? Without a component compliant solution, the answer is no. Remember that CAT 6 link does not see the cross-connect, patch cords, and equipment cords. Patch cords are thought by many to be a primary weak link in any CAT 6 system. Once you add in patch cords, equipment cords and the cross-connect, your system may not achieve CAT 6 performance.

If my installation is designed for CAT 6 channel compliance, am I okay? Without a component compliant solution, the answer is yes, but if you change any of the components, modular connectors, patch panels, patch cords, or use a different brand of CAT 6 cable then your system may not achieve CAT 6 performance.

Part #: IC1078L6 / Availability: In Stock

Designed with superior impedance matching across media transitions, which improves attenuation, cancellation of near and far-end crosstalk, and reduces signal reflections. The outstanding performance exceeds the high-speed data requirements for the Category 6 standard. The connector includes a one-piece termination cap that reduces installation time by simultaneously terminating all 4 pairs.
