These are high-speed, high-performance cables that exceed category 5 standards. They are suitable for high-speed LANs that are required to cope with the increasingly high speeds of personable computers and also the increasing complexity of applications. Features These cables can be used over a wide range, from telephone and FAX communication to high-speed wideband multimedia applications. The power sum near-end crosstalk attenuation satisfies EIA/TIA standards. By laying these cables in corporations and buildings in advance, it is possible to cope with high-speed LAN in the future.
