Phoenix Contact 10 gigabit CAT6_A connectors

CAT6_A connectors from Phoenix Contact with the integrated Quickon and Piercecon quick-connection systems are designed to provide reliable data transfer rates of 10 Gbps, in conformance with the ethernet CAT6_A standard.

The coding of the M12 connectors with Piercecon connection prevents incorrect insertion into existing M12 solutions. For the Quickon quick-connection system, the connector profile remains the same as for the commercially available RJ45 connectors. These freely configurable connectors can be connected without requiring any special tools.

The CAT6_A product line includes M12 and RJ45 connectors for the cable and device ends. These are available with IP20 protection for office applications and an IP6X degree of protection for industrial environments. The preassembled cables are available in different versions.

The difference between the CAT6A and CAT6_A components that are available in the market should be noted. In a 10 gigabit network, a reliable and high-quality data transfer channel is only obtained when using CAT6_A components.
