Description:
The GigaFlex PS6+ Module is a new punch down UTP connector within the Modular Connectivity product line. The GigaFlex PS6+ Module is based on a patent-pending Encapsulated Lead Frame technology ensuring excellent long-term reliability as well as extremely stable transmission performance. The unique in-line IDC termination interface allows quick and easy installation using GigaFlex, BIX, 110 or Krone connecting tools.
The GigaFlex PS6+ is the module of choice for terminating UTP cables into the MediaFlex and Interface Outlet Series. It can also be mixed and matched with a wide variety of MDVO adapters, boxes and patch panels to suit practically any installation configuration for workstation outlet, consolidation point and telecommunications room applications.
The unmatched PS6-rated performance exceeds all parameters specified in the Category 6 standard. All performance characteristics including NEXT, FEXT, attenuation and return loss have been set to guarantee transmission performance up to 300 MHz. The GigaFlex PS6+ Module is designed to be used with the IBDN System 2400 and the IBDN System 4800LX.

| INSTALLATION TIPS | |
|---|---|
|
Connector Assembly • Use the GigaFlex Termination Station (AX101172) for better support during termination process • Follow the color-coding sequence printed on the back of the module to position twisted pairs prior to termination • Use the cable jacket to protect the twisted pairs during termination • Use either GigaFlex, BIX, 110 or Krone connecting tools to terminate the module • Snap protective cap onto the back of the module to provide strain relief for the conductors after termination • Installation Guide is supplied with each box of 50 modules and is available in the "Document Center" of NORDX/CDT's Web Site. Connector Maintenance • Use the Outlet release tool or a standard screwdriver to disassemble the module from its mounting hardware or to remove the protective cap for re-termination. |
