Network Cabling System enables 60 sec termination.
August 28, 2009 -
Based on 10 Gb/s capable Z-MAX 6A platform, unshielded Category 6 Z-MAX System utilizes linear termination module, which allows conductors to be laced into position without crossing pairs. Outlet's noise resistance enables ultra-high density patching, allowing Z-MAX 6 modular patch panels to support up to 48 ports in 1U of rack or cabinet space. Available in flat and angled configurations, Z-MAX 6 patch panels feature modular Quick-Snap panel design.

Siemon® Expands Family of Groundbreaking Z-MAX(TM) Network Cabling Solutions with Category 6 UTP Z-MAX System
Innovative category 6 UTP system combines exceptional performance margins with best-in-class 60 second termination time
Watertown, CT - August 20, 2009 -- Siemon is proud to introduce a new category 6 unshielded (UTP) version of the Z-MAX family of end-to-end network cabling solutions. This new system is based on Siemon's 10Gb/s capable Z-MAX 6A platform, bringing many of the category 6A system's performance enhancing and user-friendly termination features to customers seeking a category 6 solution.
The new category 6 Z-MAX system employs the same fast and simple, termination process as the Z-MAX 6A system. Using Siemon's patent-pending Z-TOOL, outlets can be terminated in less than 60 seconds from start to finish, including cable preparation - the fastest RJ-based outlet termination in the industry.
Overwhelming positive feedback on the Z-MAX 6A and speed of termination has driven requests and demand for a category 6 version of Z-MAX, says Bob Carlson, Siemon's VP of Global Marketing. "We listen to our customers and respond accordingly," says Bob. "The market for category 6 is still ripe and this is a logical extension of Siemon's breakthrough MAX product line."
In addition to the Z-TOOL, the new category 6 Z-MAX outlet utilizes the Z-MAX 6A's patent-pending linear termination module. The linear termination module allows conductors to be laced quickly and naturally into position without crossing pairs. Maintaining and protecting cable pair geometry optimizes transmission performance and consistency while removing a significant noise source present in all other RJ-45 outlets. Utilizing Siemon's Premium 6 UTP cable, the Z-MAX 6 outlet's unique design provides extended category 6 performance margins and transmission headroom. Additionally, the outlet's enhanced noise resistance enables ultra-high density patching, allowing Z-MAX 6 modular patch panels to support up to 48 ports in just 1U of rack or cabinet space.
Available in both flat and angled configurations, the Z-MAX 6 patch panels feature a unique modular Quick-Snap panel design, which allows Z-MAX 6 panel outlets and pre-terminated trunking cable assemblies to be quickly snapped into place to speed initial deployment and subsequent moves, adds and changes. Combined with 48-port, 1U patching, Z-MAX 6's Quick-Snap design and pre-terminated trunking cable compatibility provides rapid deployment, superior flexibility and ultra-high density in mission-critical data center infrastructures.
To further enhance flexibility and user-friendliness, all Z-MAX work area outlets feature an exclusive hybrid flat/angled design that allows either flat or angled mounting orientations with the same outlet. Newly enhanced high visibility printed icons provide a complete color-coded identification system.
The end-to-end Z-MAX 6 UTP channel is supported by Siemon's category 6 MC patch cords and innovative high-density BladePatch modular cords. Z-MAX 6 hybrid flat/angled outlets are compatible with all Siemon MAX series modular patch panels and faceplates.
