DataLink 2000 Category 8 S/FTP
100 Ohm Modular Cords
Description
HCS DataLink 2000 S/FTP modular cord series consists of 100 Ohm impedance, 4-pair S/FTP LS0H RJ45 terminated cords for work area,
jumper and patching in local area networks, verified in a Class I, Category 8 Channel. HCS DataLink 2000 S/FTP modular cords may be
terminated with field-terminated FT RJ45 plugs or with standard crimped RJ45 plugs.
HCS DataLink 2000 S/FTP modular cords exceed the ISO/IEC-11801 Class I channel limits and are backward compatible with all lower categories jacks.
HCS DataLink 2000 S/FTP modular cords can be used with either T568A or T568B wired jacks.
The standard jacket color is Gray RAL 7035. 10 different jacket & boot colors are available upon request.
