Comprehensive Debuts Tiny, Snagless MicroFlex Cat6 Cables
Comprehensive Connectivity is shipping a new cable product it’s calling MicroFlex — it’s literally a line of “snagless” patch cables that are 40 percent smaller than standard Cat6 cables. The MicroFlex Pro AV/IT CAT6 Snagless Patch Cables [MCAT6-XX PROBLK, MCAT6-XX PROBLU and MCAT6-XX PROGRY] are built using a 30 gauge twisted pair construction technique that results in up to a 40 percent reduction in outer diameter compared to standard Cat6 cables while, according to Comprehensive, providing full Cat6 bandwidth of up to 550 Mhz.
These MicroFlex Pro AV/IT CAT6 Snagless Patch Cables are designed for SMB applications as well as government, military, information technology and more. Available in three colors (gray, blue and black), it’s easy to specify signal routing for different types of signals and use their color-coding (i.e., video, audio and control each would have their own dedicated color). SureLength markers also indicate the cables length right on the cable itself making staging for installations quick and easy. All the cables have RJ45 connections and meet Category 6 568B 2.1 Draft 9 TIA/EIA standards. They are UL-rated, RoHS-compliant and include a lifetime warranty.
