Star Real 10 – Cat. 6 / Class EA

R&M has two solutions in its product range for 10 GbE via twisted pair copper cables – one shielded and one unshielded, grouped in the STAR Real 10 range. A channel with STAR Real10 components meets or exceeds the values of the just approved Class E_A standard according to ISO/IEC 11 801 ed. 2002 adm.1 and Cat. 6A according to EIA/TIA 568B.2-10.

The requirements of the ISO/IEC 11801 ed. 2002 adm. 1 Class E_A are especially demanding. They exceed the channel requirements of EIA/TIA 568B.2-10 Cat. 6A, as well as the requirements of the IEEE 802.3an (10GB/s Ethernet) and ISO/IEC TR 24750.  

Shielded

Each individual Cat. 6 STP module comprises 360° shielding, providing complete protection from interference caused by neighboring modules. It means the critical Alien NEXT para-meter is completely under control.

Unshielded

Our many years of experience with shielded systems provide the basis for the WARP tech-nology (Wave Reduction Patterns) used in the STAR Real 10 UTP range. A foiled conductor encloses the lines and absorbs outside interference. The foil segments in the UTP cable are mutually insulated to prevent circulating currents. They are short enough to avoid antenna effects, but packed closely enough together to suppress Alien NEXT effectively. WARP instal-lation cables remain easy to terminate and can be laid in the same way as conventional UTP cables. Clip-on WARP casings for the connector modules together with optimized patch cables ensure that the protective function remains effective over the entire connection link.
