applications
Mini-Com® TX6A™ 10Gig™ UTP Coupler
Modules and Patch Panels are a component
of the TX6A™ 10Gig™ 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 a single connector
in the channel. One coupler can be used per
channel while maintaining Category 6A/Class
EA performance. Couplers are a reliable,
modular solution, ideal when setting up
networks in a testing environment or
during a planned system upgrade.
