Sommer Cable Releases SC-MERCATOR CAT.6a

	"The SC-MERCATOR CAT.6a high-flex patch cable stands out by its compact design and flexibility, which is ideal for professional network environments," says Rieck.

New from Sommer Cable is the SC-MERCATOR CAT.6a cable, which, thanks to its extremely small outer diameter of 6mm and a tight bending radius of less than 20mm, fits easily into narrow patch panels, data cabinets, or touring racks. The jacket material, combined with an S/FTP construction featuring a braided shield and AL/PT foil shielding for each pair, ensures a reliable shielding of all wire pairs and a bandwidth of up to 500MHz according to the Cat.6a standard.

Equipped with ultra-compact 25mm RJ45 connectors and a transparent 50mm heat-shrink tubing for individual labeling, the cable also features practical details for professional use. The optional retrofit with the well-known NEUTRIK etherCON cable connector guard (NE8MX/NE8MX-B) further increases robustness and service life in mobile applications.

"Due to their construction, flexible Cat.6a cables are generally very difficult to manufacture. The SC-MERCATOR CAT.6a high-flex patch cable stands out by its compact design and flexibility, which is ideal for professional network environments," says Peter Rieck, product developer at Sommer cable.

The Cat.6a S/FTP HIGHFLEX patch cable is available in various lengths. It is complemented by a version with an exceptionally durable PUR jacket (art no. C6AP). It is available by the meter or as a premade cable. Free samples available upon request.
