Tyco Electronics Launches a New CAT 5E Miniature Trunk Cable For High Data-Rate and xDSL Applications

The product, available in shielded or unshielded configurations, eliminates cable congestion -- offering a more flexible, easy-to-route interconnection for use in high data-rate Ethernet and xDSL applications.

A central feature of the product includes its reduced diameter for improved routing within, or between, cabinets and frames for central offices or telecommunication closets. Additional benefits of this feature include: reduced weight, improved cabinet/frame airflow and easier handling and routing.

The multi-pair cables can be customized for specific applications as they include a variety of pair-counts and AWG sizes. Non-halogen and outdoor rated configurations and customizable shielding are also offered.

The product meets industry standards (TIA/EIA 568, ISO 11801), safety ratings (UL/CSA), and ADSL/VDSL2 and GbE (Category 5E) requirements. Additionally, the product fits a wide selection of industry standard connectors.

Specific applications include: Cat 5E, DSLAM, Gigabit Ethernet routers/concentrators, ADSL/VDSL Frames, xDSL cross-connects, trunk splice, and FTTN Pedestal.
