Abstract

Hubbell Premise Wiring commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate various combinations of the ClearBIT Cabling System, which consists of Hubbell’s SPEEDGAIN Category 5e and NEXTSPEED 670 Category 6 connectivity products (jack, patch panels and cross-connects) with PlatinumPLUS 350 Category 5e and Command LINX 6 Category 6 cables from General Cable Industries, Inc. The ClearBIT Cabling System was developed through a formal alliance between Hubbell Premise Wiring and General Cable Industries with the objective of providing high performance Category 5e, Category 6 solutions. Tests included traditional passive/static performance measurements, such as ACR, NEXT and Return Loss, and dynamic active tests that include channel tests of 90 meters.
