DataLink 500A Category 6A U/FTP 100 Ohm Outdoor LAN Cables
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+.
