Description

HCS DataLink 250 cable series consists of 100 Ohm impedance, 4-pair and 8-pair F/FTP cables for horizontal installations in local area networks (LANs). All cables fully conform to and provide a substantial margin above all Category 6 requirements of ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and IEC 61156-5. All cables fully support IEEE 802.3at 2009 Part 3 Amendment 3 including PoE+.
