Brand-Rex 10GPlus Zone Cable receives 3P Third Party Approval 

Brand-Rex's high performance Augmented Category 6 (10GPlus) Zone Cable has now been fully certified by 3P Third Party Testing, the independent testing laboratory. The certification confirms the Zone Cable's status as one of the highest performing cables currently available, making it ideally suited for the most demanding applications, especially 10GBASE-T.



3P tested the 10GPlus Zone Cable in accordance with the Category 6A performance requirements of the IEC 61156-6 cable standard. Tests proved the cable's screening performance ensures the alien crosstalk values of any system employing this product will be >>10dB better than the specification requirements, assuming terminations are done correctly.

Suitable for use in the most challenging Data Centre environments, it is smaller and 30% lighter than conventional cables, and makes possible a 100% increase in the number of cables per cable tray. The 10GPlus Zone Cable is also more flexible and easier to install.
