CommScope has introduced the Systimax GigaShield X10D end-to-end Category 6A shielded platform for high-speed copper networks. The platform builds on the company’s Systimax 2.0 portfolio, with F/UTP, F/FTP and S/FTP cabling along with MiNo shielded patch cords, MGS600S jacks (pictured below), InstaPatch integration, and preloaded panels supporting imVision and VisiPort solutions.

As the latest addition to the SYSTIMAX 2.0 portfolio, the platform offers F/UTP, F/FTP and S/FTP cables and patch cords with optimal electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) rejection. Installation and monitoring solutions particularly suited for light industrial and high-security environments can benefit from this technology.

Highlights of the GigaSHIELD X10D Cat 6A Shielded Platform:

  • One platform supporting all indoor and outdoor Cat 6A shielded applications, far exceeding ISO/IEC and TIA/EIA industry standards for channel performance.

  • F/UTP, F/FTP and S/FTP technology delivers optimal EMI and RFI protection.

  • Eco-friendly design reduces single-use plastics; leverages a modular architecture to reduce the number of network components as well as resources needed to produce, distribute and support them; and carries an extended lifecycle to delay the need for upgrades and reduce the network’s carbon footprint.

  • Full integration with port monitoring (SYSTIMAX VisiPORT) and AIM (SYSTIMAX imVision) solutions to monitor, troubleshoot and optimize network performance and resources in real time.

  • New MGS600S jack offers compatibility with CommScope’s Jack Termination Tool (JTT) to ensure rapid, reliable installation.

  • SYSTIMAX InstaPATCH pre-terminated assemblies improve install times up to 80% compared to field-terminated solutions.

  • Full range of industry leading support options, including CommScope’s comprehensive 25 year product and application warranty and SYSTIMAX Assurance program, which includes design assistance and more.
