SP24ZM Series Snap-in Patch Panels
When it comes to Cat 6A, efforts to minimize alien crosstalk in disturbed network ports have led to various new designs, with staggered port layouts being the most common. A common approach involves a staggered two-dimensional 12-port-up, 12-port-down layout, which helps reduce alien crosstalk at certain levels but still falls short. This design achieves a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of around 60dB—still far below the 70dB SNR required for 10Gbps performance under standard specifications. HCI’s SP24ZM Series Patch Panel takes it a step further, using a 3D-optimized layout to maximize the distance between corner network ports and disturbed ports, significantly reducing alien crosstalk.
The Game-Changer: 3-D Staggered Mounting
HCIās SP24ZM Series features the marketās only 3-dimensional staggered mounting, protected under U.S. Patent 9,667,004 B1. By introducing Z-axis spacing beyond conventional surface-level designs, it provides unmatched alien crosstalk reduction. This breakthrough ensures Alien Crosstalk compliance with Cat 6A limits outlined by TIA and ISO standards, setting a new benchmark for patch panel innovation.
One ACE leads, two ACEs win!
The U.S. Patent 9,667,004 B1 mentioned earlier lays the foundation for Alien Crosstalk compliance in Cat 6A Component-Rated systems. To tackle Internal Crosstalk, Cat 6A Component-Rated Keystones are key. The KHA and KVA Series from HCI, each backed by its own U.S. Patent for combating internal crosstalk, work perfectly alongside the SP24ZM. It takes two to make it right!
Proof in Print, Credibility in Full
Testing for Alien Crosstalk goes beyond basic handheld devicesāit demands bundled configurations and mounting fixtures as part of the process for accuracy. A trusted third-party certificate validates the rigorous work behind the scenes, proving HCIās lab results are consistent with Intertek's verification. This assures our esteemed customers that the SP24ZM Series delivers the TRUE Cat 6A as promised.
Cables in Check, Systems in Sync
Up front, each recessed RJ-45 port (odd-numbered) has a handy slide to prevent snagging when you unplug cordsāno fuss, no worries. Around the back, the SP24ZM Series steps up with rigid 1.6mm SECC steel cable management, strengthened with reinforcing ribs to handle heavy-duty cables without bending. You can align each cable neatly with its port, keeping your setup tidy and organized.
Keep all 24 ports in 1U with 3-D staggered
Imagine if the SP24ZM had to drop from 24 ports to just 16 to pass Alien Crosstalkāthat wouldn't be unique, would it? It took a lot of engineering effort, but we pulled it off. Sticking to the EIA-310 specs, we pushed the limits and got the recessed ports (odd-numbered) 1cm apart from the surface ports (even-numbered), all while ensuring that keystone jacks under 18mm still fit perfectly into the panel.
Made in Taiwan
At HCI, we proudly present the SP24ZM Series as a market-exclusive solution, crafted with a unique approach to tackling Alien Crosstalk. By pushing the geometrical distance between ports to its absolute limit, this design ensures optimal performance for Cat 6A unshielded systems. Itās the go-to choice for meeting Alien Crosstalk compliance when setting up patch panels in telecom rooms. With HCI, you can rest easy knowing your system is in good hands.
