Brand-Rex Zone Cable 10GPlus

NB: Images are indicative only

Zone cables have been designed specifically for the challenges in the data centre environment. They are smaller and lighter than equivalent conventional cables. These cables are designed to be compliant with the IEC and CENELEC standards for 500MHz cabling systems.

Cables can be used in part or all of a cabling channel. When designing links with zone cables the appropriate attenuation factor should be used to calculate the maximum link length. The attenuation factor for these cables is 1.5.

Applications

Zone cable provides a foundation for building reliable high speed, Local Area Networks to support transmission of Class A, B, C, D and E protocols currently defined in ISO 11801 and EN 50173 and the new draft Class EA protocol from IEEE, 10GBASE-T.

Other applications supported include voice, broadband video and PoE.
