Front of Rack (cords)
Symmetrically dress cords and route into cable management. Leviton’s Cat 6A cords
have been independently- and field-tested to ensure 10G performance, whether
they are strictly combed or randomized in cable managers. Our horizontal ring-type
cable managers as well as horizontal and vertical Versi-Duct
®
products help manage
patch cords at the front of the rack. To reduce cord bundle sizes and save rack space,
consider using angled patch panels with Versi-Duct vertical managers, as the angled
design eliminates the need for horizontal managers. Also consider Leviton Atlas-X1
Cat 6A SlimLine Boot patch cords: Their low profile boots will reduce congestion at
the face of the patch panel and on high-density switch equipment.
Bend Radius
To maintain Cat 6A performance, minimum bend radius should be 4x OD
for UTP and shielded cable. This radius is significantly larger than Cat 6
and 5e. For example, Cat 6 cables at 4x OD is 0.9" (23 mm), whereas
Cat 6A is 1.21" (31 mm). Plan carefully to ensure there is sucient space
throughout cable runs to maintain proper bend radius.
