Benefits & Features
Testing every box or reel of cable prior to shipment - providing the highest degree of quality assurance.
Exceptional material properties and cable design - providing a long lasting patch-cords.
High ACR values - providing low BER (Bit-Error-Rate) in all applications.
Extremely high pair-balance - providing excellent EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility), minimizing radiation and maximizing noise immunity.
Revolutionary pair lay scheme - providing an extremely low delay skew.
Co-extruded crisp and clear spiral color coding of wires - providing positive wire identification and ease of installation.
Descending sequential meter mark - providing easy stock and left-over handling.
Batch number printed every meter - providing fast retrieval of test results from data-base.
A comprehensive product range - providing all state-of-the-art cable constructions.
Large variety of packaging options - providing minimum scrap and left-over cable sections.
Unique DoubleSafe™ Quality Assurance Program providing lowest rejection rate available.
