Description

HCS DataLink 500A cable series consists of 100 Ohm impedance, 4-pair and 8-pair U/UTP cables for horizontal installations in local area networks (LANs). All cables fully conform to and provide a substantial margin above all Category 6A UTP requirements of TIA-568.2-D and Category 6A of IEC 61156-5. All cables fully support all IEEE 802.3 PoE applications including Type 1, 2, 3 & 4, CISCO UPoE & UPoE+ and HDBase-T PoH.
