BOTHELL, Wash., May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Berk-Tek
Leviton Technologies today announced that its CX6850 Cat 6A
Premium+ UTP System was successfully tested to deliver 100-watt
Power over Ethernet (PoE), enabling the transmission of power and
data to a wider range of remote devices. The ability to deliver 100
watts supports emerging PoE standards, such as the draft IEEE
802.3bt (type 4) PoE standard scheduled for ratification in
2017.
"Next-generation powered devices, such as wireless access points
and large-display HDTVs, will require greater bandwidth than
Gigabit Ethernet and more delivered power, so designers need to
build networks with these future needs in mind," said Dean Lipke, Senior Director of Product
Management, Copper, Power, Connected Home, at Leviton. "The CX6850
Cat 6A Premium+ UTP System has undergone rigorous lab testing by
Berk-Tek and Leviton, and the system demonstrates the ability to
meet the need for higher bandwidth and power, while limiting the
temperature rise in large cable bundles and remaining within the
cable's listed rating."
The CX6850 system includes Berk-Tek LANmark™-XTP
cable, Leviton Atlas-X1™ component-rated connectors
and patch cords and Leviton component-rated 110-style patch panels.
Along with the ability to support power at 100 watts, LANmark-XTP
cable includes innovative noise-canceling XTP technology for
superior alien crosstalk (AXT) suppression.
"Using a CX6850 system for PoE delivery provides significant
benefits over Cat 6 or 5e," said Brian
Simmons, Copper Product Manager at Berk-Tek. "LANmark-XTP
cables provide better heat dissipation, and are listed to 75
degrees Celsius, which allows the cables to be installed in larger
bundles than with lower-grade cables, saving pathway space and
avoiding channel length de-rating due to insertion loss. This in
turn enables longer cable runs."
