GIRARD G-Plus Cat6A shielded jacks specified to frequencies up to 500MHz. They have been designed specifically to support the higher frequencies required for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, yet is fully backwards compatible with today's needs. The GIRARD G-Plus Cat6A shielded jack fits in all structural hardware designed for keystone. GIRARD G-Plus Cat6A products are additionally specified to 500MHz and are screened to ensure immunity from Alien Crosstalk and other external interference.

Application

• 10Base-T Ethernet
• 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet
• 1000Base-TX Gigabit Ethernet
• 10GBase-T 10 Gigabit Ethernet IEEE 802.3
• 155 Mbit ATM
• 1.2 Gbit ATM
• future class E 10G applications

Performance
The GIRARD G-Plus Cat6A shielded jack has been designed to reach the highest performance in Cat 6 and Class E up to 500 MHz. It has outstanding performance for attenuation (insertion loss), NEXT/FEXT, Power Sum NEXT/FEXT and Return Loss, exceeding the Cat 6 connector specs as in IEC 60603-7-5.

When used in combination with GIRARD G-Plus cables and G-Plus patch cords, and installed according to the guidelines, the system supports the 10GBase-T applications as defined in IEEE 802.3an, ISO/IEC TR 24750 and TIA/EIA TSB-155. Respecting the GIRARD G-Plus design guidelines, the full 100m four-connector channel moreover meets Category 6A and Class EA requirements as defined in TIA/EIA568B.2 Addendum 10 draft 6.0 and ISO/IEC draft amendment 1.1 (as in draft 25N1324) respectively.
