applications
Mini-Com® TX6™ PLUS UTP Coupler Modules
and Patch Panels are a component of the
TX6™ PLUS UTP Copper Cabling System.
This end-to-end system is interoperable and
backwards compatible, providing design
flexibility to protect network investments well
into the future. Couplers are designed to
perform as one connector in the channel,
allowing up to 4 couplers in each channel
to be used while maintaining channel
performance. Couplers are a reliable, modular
solution, ideal when setting up networks in a
testing environment or during a planned
w w w. p a n d u it.c o m
system upgrade. With certified performance to
the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6 and ISO
11801 Class E standards, this system will
support the following applications:
• Ethernet 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T (Fast
Ethernet), 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet)
• 155 Mb/s ATM, 622 Mb/s ATM, 1.2
Gb/s ATM
• Token Ring 4/16
• Digital video and broadband/baseband
analog video
• Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
To designate color, add suffix BL (Black, IW (Off White),
BU (Blue), GR (Green), OR (Orange), RD (Red), IG
(International Gray) or YL (Yellow).
* To designate color, add suffix BU (Blue) or WH
(White). For additional cable colors, contact customer
service.
^ For lengths 1 to 20 feet (one foot increments) and 25,
30, 35, 40 feet, change the length designation in the
part number to the desired length. For standard cable
colors other than Off White, add suffix BL (Black), BU
(Blue), RD (Red), YL (Yellow), GR (Green), OR
(Orange) or VL (Violet). For example, the part number
for a blue 15-foot patch cord is UTPSP15BUY.
^^ For lengths 1 to 10 meters (one meter increments)
and 2.5, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 meters, change the
length designation in the part number to the desired
length. For standard cable colors other than Off White,
add suffix BL (Black), BU (Blue), RD (Red), YL (Yellow),
GR (Green), OR (Orange) or VL (Violet). For example,
the part number for a blue15-meter patch cord is
UTPSP15MBUY.
^^^To designate color other than Red, add suffix
BL (Black), BU (Blue), YL (Yellow), GR (Green), OR
(Orange), IW (Off White) or IG (International Gray) at
the end of the part number. 10/package.
+To designate color other than IW (Off White), replace
IW with EI (Electric Ivory), IG (International Gray), BL
(Black), BU (Blue), RD (Red), YL (Yellow), GR (Green),
OR (Orange) or VL (Violet) in the part number.
100/package.
