Tyco Electronics launches miniature trunk cable

Tyco Electronics has launched a Madison Cable brand Category 5E miniature trunk cable designed for the telecommunication and data communication industries.

The product, available in shielded or unshielded configurations, is said to eliminate 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 customised for specific applications as they include a variety of pair counts and AWG sizes.

Non-halogen and outdoor-rated configurations and customisable 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.

In addition, the product fits a wide selection of industry standard connectors.

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