Stewart Connector has introduced Category 8.1 to Category 8.2 twisted pair Ethernet hybrid patch cords, adding to its high-speed solution offering.
Category 8.1 and 8.2 products are cost-effective solutions for data centres wanting to upgrade data transmission speeds without switching to a fibre optic solution. The company recently released the Category 8.2 series, claimed to be the highest performing Ethernet twisted-pair connectivity system offered today with an ARJ45 interface. The Category 8.2 ARJ45 interface enables each signal pair to be independently shielded end to end in the channel, removing pair to pair and alien crosstalk. These new hybrid patch cords join the Category 8.1 RJ45 interface with the high-performance ARJ45 interface through a patch cord assembly.
Hybrid cables provide the user with the ability to employ the highest performing structured cabling system and provide for interface compatibility with the industry-standard RJ45 interfaces on switches, servers, routers, and data storage devices. The hybrid patch cord has a performance level of Category 8.1 and can support 25Gbps and 40Gbps Ethernet transmission speeds over copper twisted pair.
