Class 6a cables are available at various angles and with indoor LSZH or economy CMX sheathing

     ShowMeCables has introduced a range of Cat 6a right Angle Ethernet cable assemblies. The Angle of the connector is 90°, which can solve installation problems in dense cable environments. In addition, the sheathing is rated LSZH for PVC restrictions or CMX for where communication rating is required.

     With this combination of features, coupled with Cat 6a's 10gb speed, these cable assemblies can be used almost anywhere indoors, including data centers, office spaces, industrial environments, home networks, and transportation systems.

     The dozens of new cables in this line have four main options. The first option is the form factor, with a straight RJ-45 connector at one end and a choice of right Angle, left, top or bottom Angle connectors at the other end. A slanted connector does not stick out as well as a straight one. This lower configuration can make a big difference when dealing with high-density wiring boards or network switches. Reduced bending radius means less pressure on the cable, extending its service life. In addition, the tilt connector naturally guides the cable along the device or wall, making cable management neater and more organized.

     Some manufacturers bend the cable into right-angle connectors, which can cause performance issues. The company ensures true 10Gb performance by offering a component with patented channel pair guidance that maintains the right twist when entering at the right Angle.

     The second option is cable sheathing material. lszh cables are suitable for indoor use. They produce minimal smoke and halogen-free gases when burned, making them a safer choice in the event of a fire. It is especially recommended for ships, defense and aerospace where the use of PVC is prohibited. cmx class cables are designed for economical indoor applications with a universal communication combustion rating.

     The third and fourth options are cable length and color. The new line comes in eight lengths :1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 or 20'. To simplify installation and maintenance, the CMX version comes in 7 colors and the LSZH version comes in 3 colors.

     "When you have a 6a network, you expect 6a performance," said Dustin Guttadauro, product line manager. "Our new right-angle assembly not only solves the challenge of dense cable installation, but its patented design ensures true class performance across the entire cable."
