Atlas-X™ Cat 6a slimLine boot patch cords exceed all channel performance requirements in ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 from 1 MHz to 500 MHz to support the IEEE 802.an standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over UTP cable. The patch cords provide superior alien crosstalk suppression and protect critical data from EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency interference). They are ideal for use in a UTP Cat 6a system or as part of a Cat 6a shielded system for use in healthcare, manufacturing, casinos and other environments where alien crosstalk may be a concern. The shielded technology is Rockwell automation Encompass™ approved.
