Product Features The Excel screened coupler is suitable for Category 6A cable joints, repairs and extensions

The coupler itself is housed in a high quality zinc die cast housing, which opens at both sides in a butterfly manner to reveal the IDC termination points

Once the conductors of the cable to be terminated are fed into the management caps, the process is completed by snapping the 'butterfly wings' together with minimal, but firm pressure.

Performance Overview

Excel Category 6A cables are designed, manufactured and tested in accordance with the ISO and TIA standards for Cat 6A. As such they are suitable for the support of high speed enterprise LAN and data centre applications such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The use of high quality foil tape screens in the design of this cable ensure that correctly installed systems are immune to performance concerns sometimes found in high speed, high frequency copper cable networks. Cables designed with pair and overall screening such as this act against Alien Crosstalk, the inducement of noise from one 4 pair cable to an adjoining (or number of adjoining cables) as well as protecting against from signal loss though emissions and enabling immunity from disturbance’s which could potentially be received from external sources such as other cables or electronic devices.
