The Industry's First Category 6 Compliant Hybrid Cables Available

Manchester, NH June 2002: Hitachi Cable Manchester's GoldLan™ family of hybrid cables has been expanded to include the industry's first category 6 hybrid cables approved for use in c(UL) CMR/FT4 riser-rated applications. Available configurations include three 4-pair cables (3x4), four 4-pair cables (4x4), and six 4-pair (6x4) cables covered by an overall thermoplastic jacket. These category 6 cables are fully component-compliant to the hybrid requirements specified in TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 (TIA category 6 standard) and have been certified for conformance by an independent third-party test laboratory. Performance data is available upon request.

The advantages of specifying hybrid cables include a reduction in the number of individual cables brought to each workstation and the use of color-coding to identify applications. Hybrid cables are an ideal means to support redundant voice and data services in critical service areas such as trading floors and communications centers.
