Description

HCS DataLink 500A modular cord series consists of 100 Ohm impedance, 4-pair unshielded terminated cords for work area, jumper and patching in local area networks (LANs). HCS DataLink 500A 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 500A modular cords exceed all ANSI/TIA-568.2-D requirements for Category 6A needed to support 10GBASE-T and are specially designed to provide outstanding Alien Crosstalk Loss. HCS DataLink 500A modular cords can be used with either T568A or T568B modular jacks. The standard jacket color is gray RAL 7035 and they are available in 10 different jacket colors.
