Unshielded twisted pair (utp) category 3 cable for use in backbone cabling systems as described in tia/eia 568-b.
- The cable consists of #24 awg solid bare copper insulated conductors, assembled into twisted pairs, with a ripcord, under an overall jacket.
- The plenum rated cable is rated for use in air handling ducts and spaces in accordance with article 800 of the national electrical code (NEC).
- The plenum cable is etl (USA) & cetl (Canada) listed for this application by passing nfpa 262/ul 910 (steiner tunnel) test.
- The non-plenum is ul (USA) & cul (Canada) listed for this application by passing ul 1666 riser cable flammability test.
Supported applications analog & digital voice, isdn, ibm 3270 ethernet®, 100 base vg-anylan. & 3x, ieee 802.5 4 mbps, token ring®, ieee 802.3, 1base-5 & 10 base-t,10 mbps.
