CAT 6A can be used in a variety of applications, including PoE, 10GBASE-T networks and HDBaseT™ networks. With CAT 6A, you can extend the expected life of your cabling systems.  CAT 6A projects require proper design, planning, products and installation practices. Leviton has created a guide, the [CAT 6A Interactive Reference Guide,](http://leviton.com/en/products/commercial/network-solutions/copper-systems/cat-6a-guide) to help you gain an understanding of these requirements.  Using icons and color-coding CAT 6A connectors, patch cords and labels are great ways to identify different networks in telecom rooms and data centers. Enhance telecom room and data center organization by color-coding connectors and patch cords. You can choose from several schemes, depending on your application and system management priorities:  - A/B switch fabric for data center redundancy - Connectivity types such as WAN/corporate data, LAN, engineering networks, voice and more - Campus location - Company colors [Click here to learn more about Leviton.](https://www.accu-tech.com/vendors/leviton/) [Click here to contact your local Accu-Tech representative. ](https://www.accu-tech.com/contact) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Topics: [Leviton](https://www.accu-tech.com/accu-insider/topic/leviton) [CAT6a](https://www.accu-tech.com/accu-insider/topic/cat6a) [cable organization](https://www.accu-tech.com/accu-insider/topic/cable-organization) ### Subscribe To Our Blog ### Additional Information ### About Accu-Tech Accu-Tech is a national distributor of Voice, Data, AV, Wireless, and Security solutions.
