Ortronics Introduces Clarity® Category 6 and Category 5e Shielded Solutions Shielded Solutions Combine Enhanced Performance of Clarity Connectivity with the Added Security of Protection from External Noise
New London, CT - Ortronics is pleased to announce the launch of Clarity® Shielded Solutions for enhanced Category 6 and Category 5e performance with added protection from EMI, RFI, and alien cross-talk, external noise sources that can negatively affect channel performance. The new four-pair shielded connectivity system includes TracJack® workstation modules, patch cords and patch panel kits.
The Clarity Shielded Solution provides the center tuned connector design first introduced with Clarity UTP for optimized installed channel performance that is field measurable. All Clarity6 and Clarity5E shielded products exceed TIA/EIA 568B component specifications and are ETL third-party component verified.
Clarity6 and Clarity5E shielded TracJacks use dual reactance modular contact arrays and low emission IDC contacts for more transparency to the signal when used with Clarity shielded patch cords. Clarity shielded TracJacks utilize standard 110-termination practices and installer-friendly re-enterable rear shielded housing. Easy-lace IDC housing is designed to accept the larger conductors of Category 6 cable, while the universal wiring label is quick and user-friendly. Clarity shielded TracJacks fit in all TracJack faceplates and housings, are icon compatible and have the C6 or 5E marking on the jack face. Like the Clarity6 UTP TracJacks, Clarity6 shielded TracJacks are backward compatible to Categories 3, 5, and 5e.
Clarity6 and Clarity5E shielded modular patch cords incorporate a flexible snagless plug design that provides proper bend relief to ensure optimal performance. The plug targets TIA center values with a paired, bi-level contact array. Clarity shielded cords are compatible with both T568A and T568B wiring, and Clarity6 shielded cords are backward compatible to Categories 3, 5, and 5e.
Ortronics new 19" panel kits for Clarity shielded TracJacks provide a high-density cross connect for 100 Ohm shielded cabling. The panel's rugged shelf construction provides cable management and strain relief. Grounding lugs are included on both sides of the panel for easy accessibility and termination. Front labels are supplied to support customized port identification.
Clarity Shielded Solutions exceed ISO/IEC 11801 and EN50173 second edition requirements for transfer impedance and shield effectiveness, and meet IEC 60603-7-5 (draft) specifications for Category 6 and Category 5e screened connecting hardware.
