Belden recently launched its REVConnect connectivity system, which the company explains “addresses a critical market need for reliable and easy terminations that support IP convergence over a range of applications from wired LAN to wireless access points, high-definition displays, security cameras and building automation sensors.”
REVConnect uses a single termination method, using a universal termination core, for all Category 5e, Category 6, and Category 6A RJ45 connections.
The connectivity platform has been available since September 19.
The company explained that REV stands for Reliable, Easy, and Versatile, and further characterized REVConnect as follows.
Reliability is driven by the nature of the connection. REVConnect features a highly reliable termination for a secure, gas-tight connection that is proven to reduce rework at all category levels.
Ease is driven by REVConnect’s universal wiring manager, which supports all Category 5e, Category 6 and Category 6A cables, as well as a single tool that covers all steps of the termination process, including cable preparation. These two features combine to provide contractors a 30- to 60-percent termination time savings.
Versatility is embodied by the system’s universal core; contractors can terminate a jack or a plug onto the same core interface. This means that field-terminable plugs, which support Category 6A and high PoE performance, can be terminated just as quickly and easily as a jack.
