Notes: 1. Zo & RL values are based upon swept frequency cable input measurements only.
2. Curve fitting functions have not been applied to improve values.
3. RL values based upon 100-ohm impedance.
4. Table data based upon discrete measurements; All cables tested to 250 MHz.

FEATURES & BENEFITS
> Engineered for end-users who demand high bandwidth coupled with high performance.
> Provides increased reliability & network optimization.
> All cables tested & characterized to 250 MHz.
> Rip Cords included with both Plenum & Non-Plenum designs  to facilitate jacket removal.
> Sequential footage markers at 2 ft. intervals to aid in installations.
> Third party verified to TIA/EIA 568-B.2 for guaranteed performance.
> Rod filler to maintain core geometry.
> Ideal for use in high bandwidth applications such as Gigabit Ethernet & 622 ATM.
 
APPLICATIONS
> 100 Base TX & 10 Base-T
> 100 Base VG Anylan
> ATM - 155 Mp/sec
> Gigabit Ethernet - IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-T
> ATM - 622 Mp/sec
> 4/16 Mb/sec Token Ring
