R&M introduces New Cat. 6A EL Module in India

R&M (Swiss cabling specialist) has unveiled a new module in India called “Cat.6A EL”. The letters “EL” stand for Easy Lock, whereas 6A EL plays a very important role in situations where simple and quick installations are required and a permanent link has to deliver high-performance conforming to standards. This module comes with a newly developed feature for optimized signal transmission.

Cat. 6A EL is compatible with the modular R&M freenet cabling system, R&M security systems and the R&M inteliPhy infrastructure management system. It is robust in connection with other makes of connectors. Cat. 6A EL can be combined with non-R&M ranges for mounting frames, sockets and switches.

Michel Riva, CEO, R&M, said, “Cat. 6A EL is an evolutionary leap forward in copper connectivity technology. The real and most significant step forward, however, lies in the mounting solution.”

Gaurav Ahluwalia, Managing Director, R&M India, said, “Installers can wire Cat. 6A EL module in under a minute. In the past, it would have taken days to wire a network distributor for structured cabling systems, but, with Cat. 6A EL, it can be done in a matter of hours. Cat. 6A EL was developed with the aim of significantly simplifying installation in the area that usually takes the most work: connecting the RJ45 modules in high-rise buildings.”

R&M’s Cat. 6A EL module comes in two parts: the wire guide and the jack with wiring cover. The jack can be mounted without any special tools. Insulation displacement terminals contact the cables automatically when the cover is closed. An integrated half clamp provides strain relief, securing all types of cable without squeezing them. Cable ties are no longer needed. With shielded cabling solutions (STPs), the half clamp establishes the shielding contact at the same time... See more
