Description

HCS DataLink 2000 cable series consists of 100 Ohm impedance, 4-pair and 8-pair 23AWG or 22AWG S/FTP cables for horizontal installations in local area networks (LANs). All cables fully conform to and provide a substantial margin above all TIA-568.2-D-1 Category 8, IEC 61156-9 Category 8.1 and 8.2 requirements. All cables fully support IEEE 802.3at 2009 Part 3 Amendment 3 including PoE+.
