Pre-Terminated Copper Trunk Cable Assemblies
Factory Terminated
Factory-Tested
Factory-Warrantied
Reduce Installation Time & Labor Costs
Available in Category 5e or Category 6
These are custom made cables. Cablek stocks the necessary components to manufacture Cat5e and Cat6 configurations and lengths. Email us with your requirements.
Cablek's copper trunk cable assemblies are the ideal solution for data centers and other applications where speed of installation is important. Factory termination and testing simplify installation, saving time and labor as compared to field terminated installation.
Assemblies are custom configured in pre-engineered lengths with connectors to meet the specific needs of each application. A braided sleeve, or velco ties, bundles individual cables into an aesthetic and cohesive trunk assembly. A pulling eye is also available which protects terminations and ensures easy and efficient installation.

Termination types and when to use them
The termination type of the cable assembly depends on the layout of the Data Center or Telecommunications Room, and the design philosophy employed. Consideration must be given to the accessibility of the active equipment, and to what extent patching will be employed.
Requires the use of empty QuickPort® patch panels on each end. Patch cords would then be used to complete the channel between active equipment (i.e. servers and switches). Many users prefer to employ cross-connects instead of direct connections. |

Eliminates one cross-connect point by having the cable plug directly into the active equipment (i.e. switches). The jack termination snaps into a Quick- Port panel, which would then be patched to other active equipment or work area ports as necessary. |
 |
|
Used to make a direct connection between active equipment (e.g. server to switch). It eliminates cross-connect capabilities, which is not necessary but a recommended practice. Also can be used in an open-space work area as a bundled patch cord group. Although trunks are more aesthetic in appearance, the use of multiple standard patch cords is more cost effective. |

Used in applications similar to the Jack-to-Jack configuration, but one end would be terminated to a Universal/110-style panel instead of a QuickPort panel. This termination type requires field testing of the drops after the cables have been terminated. |
