DataLink 250 Category 6 U/UTP 100 Ohm LSOH Cords
Description
HCS DataLink 250 modular cord series consists of 100 Ohm impedance, 4-pair U/UTP terminated cords for work area,jumper and patching in local area networks (LANs). HCS DataLink 250 modular cords feature a unique termination method, combining strength relief injection molding into the RJ-45 plug with a removable boot. This design provides the advantages of both molded and non-molded terminations. HCS DataLink 250 modular cords exceed all ANSI/TIA-568.2-D EN 50173-1, EN 50173-2, IEC 61935-2 and ISO/IEC-11801 Category 6 requirements and are specially designed to be backward compatible with all Category 5 and Category 5E jacks. The standard color is Gray RAL7035, but they are available in 10 different jacket colors and supplied with boots that match the color of the cords.
