Description

HCS DataLink 500A outdoor cable series consists of 100 Ohm impedance, 4-pair and 8-pair U/FTP cables jacketed with heavy-duty, black, UV-resistant PE compound for horizontal outdoor installations in local area networks (LANs). All cables fully conform to and provide a substantial margin above all Category 6A requirements of ANSI/TIA/-568-C.2 and IEC 61156-5. All cables fully support IEEE 802.3at 2009 Part 3 Amendment 3 including PoE+.

Application
HCS DataLink 500A Horizontal outdoor cables support all presently available and future LAN applications, including the following protocols:
☑ IEEE 802.3an 10GBASE-T 10 Gigabit Ethernet ☑ 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ☑ ATM 155 ☑ TP-PMD ☑ 100BASE-T "Fast Ethernet" ☑ 100BASE-T2 ☑ 100BASE-T4 ☑ 100BASE-TX ☑ Token Ring 100 Mbps ☑ ATM 52 ☑ ATM 25 ☑ 10BASE-T Ethernet ☑ Token Ring 4 Mbps and 16 Mbps ☑ Broadband and Baseband Video ☑ ISDN Basic and Primary Access ☑ 1BASE-5 Starlan ☑ ISALAN ☑ ITU V.21 and X.11
Qualifications and Approvals
HCS DataLink 500A Cables are tested and verified for full compliance with the following standards:
☑ Category 6A UTP according to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D. ☑ Category 6A according to IEC 61156-5.

Benefits & Features

→ Exceptional transmission properties - suitable for 10GBE applications on 100m channels. → Testing every box or reel of cable prior to shipment - providing the highest degree of quality assurance. → Exceptional material properties and cable design - providing a unique Century™ Lifetime Warranty. → High ACR values - providing low BER (Bit-Error-Rate) in all applications. → Extremely high pair-balance - providing excellent EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility), minimizing radiation and maximizing noise immunity. → Revolutionary pair lay scheme - providing an extremely low delay skew. → Co-extruded crisp and clear spiral color coding of wires - providing positive wire identification and ease of installation. → Descending sequential meter mark - providing easy stock and left-over handling. → Heavy-duty, black, UV-resistant jacket - providing low-cost outdoor cables for mild environments. → Batch number printed every meter - providing fast retrieval of test results from data-base. → Unique DoubleSafe™ Quality Assurance Program providing lowest rejection rate available.
