What’s New?
GENSPEED® 17 FREE™
U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) Membership
General Cable has accelerated its environmental commitment, addressing its green
alternative approach by identifying greener opportunities and promoting green cabling
solutions wherever feasible. This includes promoting our existing green products,
partnering with key customers in their green endeavors, identifying and providing
resources for green product gaps, becoming a member of the United States Green
Building Council (USGBC) and participating in collaborative ventures such as the Green
Suppliers Network (GSN).
U.S. GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL
An Unshielded 6A Cable That Performs Like a Shielded Cable
One of the biggest challenges in 10 Gigabit operations is to mitigate noise between
individual cables used for high speed data communication. You could incur the costs
and time to upgrade to a shielded solution, or you can install General Cable’s industry-
leading solution, GenSPEED ® 10 MTP™ Category 6A cable, which can be found on page 12.
GenSPEED 10 MTP utilizes revolutionary Mosaic Crossblock™ technology to shield the
cable from noise coming from external cable sources, referred to as alien crosstalk
(PSANEXT and PSAACRF) – without the need for grounding. This patented technology was
carefully designed with metallic blocks separated by an insulating layer. Since there is no
metal-to-metal contact, there is no path for current to flow longitudinally, and thus, no need
for grounding. Therefore, you get all the benefits of an STP/FTP cable with a UTP cable.
GENSPEED® 10 MTP™
We have added a NextGen® Brand Fiber Optic section to our Data Communications
catalog for your convenience, beginning on page 77. For the complete product line,
request a Fiber Optic catalog: 800-424-5666 or Datacom@GeneralCable.com.
NEXTGEN® BRAND FIBER OPTIC
General Cable now offers a line of halogen-free GenSPEED ® Brand UL-Rated Riser
(CMR) cable. By removing halogens, which are Group 17 on the Periodic Table, the cable
has reduced toxicity. This results in a truly “green” cable, which is less toxic and more
environmentally friendly. The U.S. Green Building Council announced a credit geared
toward reducing the release of persistent bio-accumulative toxic chemicals, or PBTs,
associated with the life cycle of building materials, including electrical wiring and
cable jacketing. Based on this LEED credit and demand for green cabling options,
General Cable has successfully engineered 17 FREE™ as a halogen-free cable alternative.
Look for this new product on pages 20, 30 and 44 in the catalog and visit us online at
www.generalcable.com for a complete line of products to meet your green cabling needs.

Quality is Forethought.
General Cable is committed to exceeding our customers’ expectations for quality and performance.
We strive to ensure this quality through extensive in-house and third-party testing, with strict adherence
to our product specifications and industry standards. At General Cable, quality is not just a process, it
is forethought. It is the forethought of using the best materials and proactive prevention. This level of
quality is best represented in three core steps: Design, Technology, and Control.
General Cable Corporation is committed to developing, producing, and marketing products that meet
the performance, quality, value and safety requirements of our customers by continuously improving all
areas of our business. We apply Lean Sigma Company-wide, seeking innovative ways to differentiate our
products and services and to serve as our customers’ and suppliers’ most valued business partner.

TECHNOLOGY
CONTROL
DESIGN
Testing Equipment – General Cable replaced differing quality testing equipment in every
plant. Consistency increases among test results throughout the plants, since all test
parameters are set to exact specifications while checking attenuation and return loss.
Remote Plant Monitoring – General Cable transfers all data tests from every product
sampling to a universal database. Any General Cable employee can access the database and
confirm the results of all products shipped from our plants.
Trending – General Cable observes test result patterns for every single product originated in
the plants. If any product veers from top performance, our proactive steps will correct the
issue instantaneously.
Outside Vapor Deposition – General Cable uses optical fiber manufactured by an outside vapor deposition (OVD) process.
This produces fiber with greater consistency of bandwidth across the entire length of the cable, translating into better
performance and higher quality.
General Cable employs Lean Sigma, which is a management philosophy that combines the views of Lean and Six Sigma.
Lean focuses on the continuous process of eliminating waste and non-value-added activities to improve the flow of
information and materials. Six Sigma utilizes the DMAIC problem-solving methodology to identify and eliminate sources of
variation that affect product characteristics that are critical to the customer’s perception of quality. Combining and applying
these systems across all business processes maximizes quality and service to the customer while improving overall value.
General Cable has more than doubled product sampling rates for quality and control. Including several checks and balances
in the process at both pre- and post-packaging steps ensures our products maintain electrical and physical specifications
before leaving the plant. General Cable improved production lines by investing in new manufacturing and test equipment.
These updates increase the consistency of all products manufactured throughout the plants. Centralized databases provide
constant monitoring of product quality and “Engineering on the Fly” capabilities to aid in the development of new products.
Compliances
ISO – General Cable’s manufacturing facilities are certified to the ISO 9001:2000 quality standard. This standard assures
that formalized business processes are being implemented to ensure efficiency, quality, and continuous improvement.
RoHS is the restriction on hazardous substances, a European Union directive that restricts use of heavy metal substances.
At General Cable, we strive to be an environmentally responsible company. As such, all of our applicable Datacom products
are certified or being upgraded to the RoHS standard.
Materials
Quality is what you put in your product. General Cable is proud to be
partnered with industry-leading material suppliers. Names such as DuPont
and Corning are synonymous with product excellence and innovation.
Their premium materials are infused into General Cable’s copper and fiber
optic data communication cables, making our products top-line quality.
Striping and Color
General Cable Datacom Category 6 products are transitioning to striped
marking. This extruded marking method provides for deeper, continuous
differentiating colors along the entire length of the insulated conductors.
General Cable has increased the color chip used for our category cables
for maximum color vibrancy.
Packaging
General Cable made packaging enhancements to address tangling and kinking of cable during installation. The standard
spool-in-a-box for our Category 6 family of products is now offered in an EZ-Brake Spool-Pac® box with knobs to adjust
tension control and pulling speeds. We also redesigned our Pull-Pac® cartons by shaving off the tabs, lengthening the tube
and securing the collar to the box.

General Cable recognizes that application and performance needs may vary,
which is why the Company is pleased to now offer four 10 Gigabit solutions:
GenSPEED® 10 MTP™ Category 6A 10 Gig Cable; GenSPEED® 10,000
Category 6a 10 Gig Cable; GenSPEED® 10,000 Shielded Category 6a 10 Gig
Cable; and NextGen® OM3 Fiber Optic 10 Gig Cable.
General Cable’s industry-leading 10 Gig solution, GenSPEED 10 MTP
Category 6A Cable, featuring the new revolutionary Mosaic Crossblock™
technology, provides an Unshielded-Twisted Pair (UTP) cable that performs
like a Shielded or Foiled-Twisted Pair (STP/FTP) cable.
GenSPEED 10 MTP’s Mosaic Crossblock technology shields the cable from
noise coming from external cable sources, which is referred to as alien
crosstalk (PSANEXT and PSAACRF). The Mosaic Crossblock was carefully
designed with metallic blocks separated by an insulating layer. Since there is
no metal-to-metal contact, there is no path for current to flow longitudinally,
and thus, no need for grounding.
General Cable’s second offering, GenSPEED
10,000
Category 6a Cable,
is a cost-effective, standard-compliant 10 Gig UTP cabling option designed
to meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2. Perfect for component upgrades, this cable
is fully backward-compatible to legacy infrastructures and prepares your
system for future 10 Gigabit applications. GenSPEED 10,000 solves the
One Gigabit limitation of Category 5e and Category 6 and is an ideal solution
for bandwidth-intensive applications.
Next is General Cable’s
GenSPEED
10,000 Category 6a Shielded 10 Gig
Cable.
GenSPEED
10,000 Shielded is an STP cable with individually shielded
pairs for optimized isolation between pairs and immunity from external noise
characterized by powersum alien crosstalk (PSANEXT) in cable bundles. Shields
are an extremely effective way of protecting the cable from outside noise
(“alien sources”) by moving the electromagnetic energy away from the pairs
and directing it through the shield and drain wire to the ground. Of course,
STP cables are only effective if they are properly grounded.
GenSPEED
10,000
Shielded offers you the ultimate PSANEXT protection.
Last but not least, General Cable rounds out its 10 Gig offering with
NextGen OM3 Fiber Optic Cable, the optimum in 10 Gb/s fiber (which
can be found in our Fiber Optic Catalog). General Cable has partnered
with Corning® Optical Fiber to supply you the world’s most technologically
advanced optical fiber cables. The bandwidth is ensured by minEMBc, and
uniformity provides field performance of shorter lengths. With 100% testing
on this product, you don’t have to worry about performance and reliability.
Your cabling system will be future-proofed, because all NextGen 10 Gb/s
fiber exceeds the specifications to which it is sold, typically allowing for
more system margin and extended reach.

cable noise sources, also known as alien
crosstalk (PSANEXT and PSAACRF)
■ Mosaic Crossblock™ is a thin tape made
up of individual metallic blocks separated
by an insulating layer. Since there is no
metal-to-metal contact, there is no path
for current to flow longitudinally, and
thus, no need for grounding
■ The Flex-Separator™ optimizes internal
pair geometry to yield superior electrical
performance and maintain flexibility. This
unique cross-web stabilizes each pair to
create a smaller, round cable profile
■ TRU-Mark® print legend contains footage
markings from 1000’ to 0’

Optical Fiber
General Cable, Corning
®
Optical Fiber.
Names that are synonymous with cable
and fiber combine to create the ultimate
in fiber optics. General Cable partners
with Corning Optical Fiber to deliver the
world’s most reliable and technologically
advanced optical fiber cables.
Singlemode
Standard
General Cable utilizes Corning® SMF-28e+™ fiber as its
standard singlemode offering. This is a full-spectrum
fiber that is fully backward-compatible with legacy
singlemode fiber. It enables increased optical launch
power of legacy singlemode fiber, improved macrobend
specifications from 0.05 dB to 0.03 dB, and tighter zero
dispersion wavelength (l0) tolerance from a range of
± 10 nm to ± 7 nm. This fiber supports all broadband
applications and complies with the most stringent
industry standards, such as:
 •ITU-TG.652(TablesA,B,CandD)
 •IEC60793-2-50TypeB1.3
 •TIA/EIA492-CAAB
 •TelecordiaGR-20-CORE
Long-Haul
For long-haul applications, rely on General Cable’s
long history of cable experience and the technology of
Corning®LEAF® fiber. This is the most widely deployed
non-zerodispersionshifted(NZ-DSF)fiberintheworld
andthefirstlowwaterpeakNZ-DSFfiber.Itslarge
effective area and industry-leading polarization mode
dispersion(PMD)specificationsenable10Gb/sand
40Gb/snetworksystemsofthefuture.
Multimode
ClearCurve® Multimode Fiber
Corning® ClearCurve® ultra-bendable laser-optimized™ multimode
optical fiber delivers the best macrobending performance in the
industry while maintaining compatibility with current optical fibers,
equipment,practicesandprocedures.ClearCurveOM3/OM4
multimode fiber is designed to withstand tight bends and
challenging cable routes with substantially less signal loss than
conventional multimode fiber.
InfiniCor® Multimode Fiber
For enterprise networks, turn to General Cable utilizing Corning®
InfiniCor® fibers. These are the world’s first laser-optimizedTM fibers.
These fibers allow higher data aggregation in premise applications
compared with non-laser-optimized fibers, full compatibility
with legacy protocols and applications, superior measurement
technology and manufacturing control, and industry-leading CPC®
coatings for superior microbend and environmental performance.

General Cable’s Carol® Brand Low Skew UTP Cable is manufactured for your RGB video and
Digital CCTV camera needs. While the basic elements of the Low Skew Cable construction are
similar to a UTP Cable (Category cable) used for data transmission, the design of the pair twists
is the secret to delivering information in a manner necessary for streaming high-quality video.
Your cable selection should be based on your application’s electrical and mechanical needs,
optimizing your system performance and cost. All Carol Brand coaxial cable and UTP cables are
manufactured to the highest standards, providing low structural return loss (signal noise in the
form of Echo), providing maximum performance.
The cable performance chart shown below is intended to provide comparative data to assist you in
choosing the right cable. The values are based on maximum distance while maintaining minimum
acceptable skew. Note that TIA/EIA standards for RGB require a maximum of 40 nsec per 328' and
Cat 5e maximum of 45 nsec per 328' for Time Delay Skew (the difference between the fastest and
slowest signal). Carol Brand Low Skew Cable allows for a compact, cost-effective cable solution
over considerably longer cable run options. A prudent design also considers maximum allowed
attenuation based on active and passive components and installation considerations within your
system design. A more typical installation length is 328 feet, which allows for optimum signal
clarity and crisp, brilliant video resolution.

General Cable offers a complete line of Carol® Brand Coaxial Cables for
today’s sophisticated high-speed, wide-bandwidth electronics products
that run over long distances with minimal signal loss or degradation.
General Cable has the right coaxial cable to serve every application,
including:
•CATV/MATV/DBS
•HDTV/SDI
•CCTV
The General Cable Coaxial Cable Solutions Guide is a quick-reference
tool to make it easier to specify and sell the right cable for the required
application – residential, commercial, entertainment and security.
Whatever the application calls for, we have a coaxial cable that delivers
the performance your customers need.
Broadband signal, 5 MHz–3 GHz, VHF/UHF, is traditionally transmitted as an analog signal received directly off air (MATV) or delivered as a community
access television (CATV) service and uses a 75 Ohm system.
Recommended Coaxial Cable Construction: Copper clad steel (CCS) conductor with a foam polyethylene or Teflon* core, an aluminum/Mylar*
foil, a minimum of 60% braid, which is typically aluminum (AL) for this application, and a PVC jacket.
For home use, a CM rated coax should be used. A commercial application may require a National Electrical Code (NEC 800 or 725) Riser (CMR) or
Plenum (CMP) rated cable. Economical cable solutions use low smoke PVC (75˚C) jackets. Teflon* (FEP) and other fluoropolymer materials (150˚C)
may be used to provide a more durable and higher-temperature cable alternative.
It is a common misconception that RG 6 coax is “better” than RG 59. While RG 6 has become the industry standard and is an excellent value, it is
a larger cable than RG 59. RG 6 allows the same signal level to be delivered a greater distance. This is expressed as a decibel value at particular
frequencies. For example, at 100 MHz, General Cable’s Carol® Brand part number C5775 RG 6 coax cable has an attenuation value of 2.05 db/100'.
A similar construction Carol® Brand part number C5782 RG 59 coax cable exhibits an attenuation value (loss) at 100 MHz frequency of 2.70 db/100'.
This may or may not be significant, depending on the input signal level and distance of the cable run.
For a longer cable run, or if the coax cable is planned for use as the backbone in a system, Carol® Brand part number C5039 RG 11 coax cable should
be used, because its attenuation at 100 MHz frequency is 1.30 db/100'.

HDTV/SDI
A DTV signal is a television signal provided in a digital form. Data bits, like in a computer, provide a dramatically better picture and better sound
quality called High Definition TV (HDTV). HDTV is the highest quality of DTV and is only one of the available formats. In addition to enhanced picture
quality, the DTV signal allows several program streams (multicasting) on one channel, providing more program potential, as well as interactive
services.
Serial Digital Interface (SDI) is the standard for digital video transmission over coaxial cable. The SMPTE 295M standard provides maximum distances
(300 meters; 140 meters for High Definition), typically at 270 Mbps with 540 Mbps possible over a coaxial cable.
Recommended Coax Cable Construction: Cable providing signal to and within the home/building will continue to be CCS construction (C5775,
C5785). Cables with SBC conductors (395011, 495025) are recommended for the interconnect between the decoder box and other electronic devices
(TV, DVD, DVR, CD, Bluray).

CCTV
Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) signals are typically lower-frequency analog signals. Attenuation increases as frequency increases, therefore lower
baseband signals are able to travel longer distances on an RG 59 type coaxial cable than a higher-frequency television signal. This is why RG 59 is
the most common coax for CCTV. It is becoming more common for Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) products, like Category 5e and 6 cables, to be used
for Closed Circuit over Twisted Pair (CCTP) or Web-enabled cameras implemented over a Power over Ethernet network architecture; however, these
solutions require the use of specialized equipment.
Recommended Coax Cable Construction: Solid bare copper (SBC) conductor and a bare copper (BC) braid shield with coverage of 90-95% to
minimize signal loss of both the horizontal and vertical sync signals. Stranded conductors are recommended for pan, zoom, tilt (PZT) cameras.

Datacom Technical Information
Glossary
Alien Crosstalk (AXT): Unwanted
signal coupling from one component,
channel, or permanent link to another
is defined as alien crosstalk. Alien
crosstalk is only specified by the
Standards as a power sum parameter
for components and cabling to
approximate the energy present
when all pairs are energized. Power
sum alien measured at the near-end
is called Power Sum Alien Near-End
Crosstalk loss (PSANEXT) and power
sum alien crosstalk at the far-end is
called Power Sum Alien Attenuation to
Crosstalk Ratio, far-end (PSAACRF).
High power sum alien crosstalk levels
can compromise the operation of 10G
Base-T applications.
American Wire Gauge (AWG): A system
used to specify wire size. The greater
the wire diameter, the smaller the value
(e.g., 24 AWG [0.51 mm {0.020 in}]).
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM):
A high-speed switching transmission
protocol that utilizes payload packages
organized into 53-byte cells to carry
data.
Attenuation: The decrease in magnitude
of transmission signal strength
between points, expressed as the
ratio of output to input. Measured in
dB, usually at a specific frequency for
copper or wavelength for optical fiber,
the signal strength may be power or
voltage.
Attenuation-to-Crosstalk Ratio (ACR):
The difference between attenuation
and crosstalk, measured in dB at a
given frequency. This difference is
critical to ensure that the signal sent
down the twisted-pair cable is stronger
at the receiving end of the cable than
any interference signals (crosstalk)
from other cable pairs.
Bandwidth: A range of frequencies,
usually the difference between the
upper and lower limits of the range,
expressed in Hz. It is used to denote
the potential capacity of the medium,
device or system. In copper and
optical fiber cabling, the bandwidth
decreases with increasing length.
Baseband transmission: A transmission
technique in which all of the available
bandwidth is dedicated to a single
communications channel. Only a
single message transfer can occur
at a given time.
Bit Error Rate (BER): The ratio of
incorrectly transmitted bits to
total transmitted bits. A primary
specification for all transmission
systems, it is usually expressed as
a power of 10. The number of errors
made in a digital transmission as
compared to complete accuracy.
Broadband transmission:
The
transmission of multiple signals on a
medium at the same time, sharing the
entire bandwidth of the medium. The
signals are multiplexed into channels
with a bandwidth of 6 kHz each and
occupy a different frequency on the
cable. The signals are divided, usually by
frequency divisions, to allow more than
one channel on the cable at any time.
Broadcast: A technique for sending
data simultaneously to all devices
attached to a network with a single
transmission. See multicast and
unicast.
Capacitance:
The tendency of an
electronic component to store electrical
energy. Pairs of wire in a cable tend
to act as a capacitor. The charge on
one of two conductors of a capacitor
divided by the potential difference
between them (measured in farads).
Common-mode noise (and longitudinal):
The noise voltage that appears
between each signal conductor to
ground, caused by electrostatic
induction and/or electromagnetic
induction.
Cross-connect: A facility enabling the
termination of cable elements and their
interconnection or cross-connection.
Crosstalk: The unwanted reception
of electromagnetic signals on a
communications circuit from another
circuit.
Decibel (dB): A logarithmic unit used for
expressing the loss or gain of signal
strength. One dB is the amount by
which the pressure of a pure sine
wave of sound must be varied in order
for the change to be detected by the
average human ear.
Delay skew: The difference in the
propagation delay between any two
pairs within the same cable sheath.
Dielectric constant: The ratio of
capacitance of an insulated wire
measured against the same wire
uninsulated, but using air as the
dielectric, which is equal to one.
Elongation: The fraction increase in the
length of a material stressed in tension.
Equal Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT):
A measure of the unwanted signal
coupling from a transmitter at the
near end into another pair measured
at the far end, relative to the received
signal level.
Ethernet: A LAN protocol using a
logical bus structure and carrier
sense multiple access with collision
detection.
Far-end crosstalk loss: A measure of
the unwanted signal coupling from a
transmitter at the near end into another
pair measured at the far end, relative to
the transmitted signal level.
FEP: Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene
Frequency: The measure of the number
of cycles (waves) per second,
expressed in Hz.
Full Duplex: Simultaneous two-way
transmission utilizing all 4 pairs.
Gigabits per second (Gb/s): A
transmission rate denoting one billion
bits per second.
Gigabit Ethernet: A carrier sense
multiple access with collision detection
LAN standard developed by the IEEE
802 group operating at one Gb/s.
Hertz (Hz): A unit of frequency equal to
one cycle per second.
Insertion loss: The signal loss resulting
from the insertion of a component,
link or channel between a transmitter
and receiver (often referred to as
attenuation).
Insulation: The dielectric material
that physically separates wires and
prevents conduction between them.
Megabits per second (Mb/s): A unit
of measure used to express the data
transfer rate of a system, device or
communications channel.
Megahertz (MHz): A unit of frequency
equal to one million cycles per second
(hertz).
Near-end crosstalk (NEXT): The
unwanted signal coupling between
pairs. It is measured at the end of a
cable nearest the point of transmission.
Contrast with far-end crosstalk.
Nominal velocity of propagation (NVP):
The speed of transmission along a
cable relative to the speed of light in a
vacuum.

Glossary
Ohm: The standard unit of electrical
resistance that measures the
opposition to the flow of direct current,
called resistance, or opposition to
the flow of alternating current, called
impedance. One volt will cause one
ampere of current to flow through one
ohm of resistance. The symbol is W.
Plenum: A designated area used for
transport of environmental air as part
of the air distribution system. Because
it is part of the air distribution system,
cables installed in this space require a
higher fire rating.
Plenum cable: A cable with flammability
and smoke characteristics that meet
the safety requirements of the National
Electrical Code® (NEC®) that allow it
to be routed in a plenum area without
being enclosed in a conduit.
Polyolefin: A thermoplastic insulation
material having excellent properties
and moisture resistance, used in the
construction of some communications
cable.
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): A tough,
flame-retardant, thermoplastic, water-
resistant insulator. Its dielectric losses
are higher than polyethylene.
Polyvinylidine DiFluoride (PVDF):
A highly non-reactive and pure
thermoplastic fluoropolymer. It is tough
and has low friction.
Power Sum Attenuation-to-Crosstalk
Ratio (PSACR): The difference
between attenuation and power sum
crosstalk measured in dB at a given
frequency. This difference is critical to
ensure that the signal sent down the
twisted-pair cable is stronger at the
receiving end of the cable than any
interference signals (crosstalk) from
other cable pairs.
Power Sum Equal Level Far-End
Crosstalk (PSELFEXT) Loss: A
computation of the unwanted signal
coupling from multiple transmitters
at the near end into a pair measured
at the far end and normalized to the
received signal level.
Power Sum Near-End Crosstalk
(PSNEXT) Loss: A computation of the
unwanted signal coupling from multiple
transmitters at the near end into a pair
measured at the near end.
Propagation delay: The time interval
required for a signal to be transmitted
from one end of the circuit to the other.
Restriction on Hazardous Substances
(RoHS): The European Commission’s
Directive 2002/95/EC adopted
January 27, 2003, also known as
“RoHS,” which restricts the use of
certain hazardous substances in
electrical and electronic equipment.
Return loss: A ratio of the power of the
outgoing signal to the power of the
reflected signal, expressed in dB.
Rip cord: A small filament cord used to
rip through the outer cable sheath.
Riser: Term applied to vertical sections
of cable, such as changing from
underground or direct-buried plant to
aerial plant. Term also applies to the
space used for cable access between
floors.
Separator: A layer of insulating material,
which is placed between pairs inside a
cable to enhance crosstalk. This could
be in a form of tape, cross-web or just
single filler.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): The ratio
between the detected signal power
and noise in a receiver, expressed in
dB. The prime determining factor in bit
error rate. See Bit Error Rate.
Star Topology: A Local Area Network
(LAN) topology in which end points
of the network are connected to a
common central switch by point-to-
point links.
Structural Return loss: A measure of
reflected energy of a transmitted signal
due to impedance variations along the
length of the cable, expressed in dB.
T-1: A digital transmission link with a
bandwidth capacity of 1.544 Mb/s.
Typical medium is 2-pair telephone
wire; however, T-1 is not indicative of
transmission medium.
Token ring: Allows attached devices to
share a common cabling system for
communications purposes without
the possibility of a collision between
transmissions. A device is only able
to send a message when it is in
possession of a special electronic
sequence of bits called a token.
Velocity of propagation: The speed of

OUR BEST IDEAS COME FROM YOU
You asked for a 10 Gig cable that prevents alien crosstalk, and we responded. General Cable has developed a
or Foiled-Twisted Pair (STP/FTP) cable. General Cable’s revolutionary Mosaic Twisted Pair
™
design saves time and
money over a shielded installation and provides industry-leading protection from external cable sources, also
known as alien crosstalk (PSANEXT and
PSAACRF).
Our Flex-Separator
TM
optimizes internal
pair geometry to yield
superior electrical
performance while
maintaining cable
cross-web stabilizes
each pair and creates
an overall smaller,
The Mosaic Crossblock
TM
is made up of individual
metallic blocks separated
by an insulating layer.
Since there is no metal-
to-metal contact, there is
longitudinally, and thus, no
need for grounding.
