Rome™ Category 5 Enhanced UTP 4 Pair Cable
Enhanced Category 5E UTP cable designed to meet or exceed today’s most advanced UTP cable applications. With enough headroom to greatly exceed ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-B.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 specifications, it is ideal for installations that require a high performance cable solution. Outstanding performance sets Rome Enhanced Category 5E UTP Cable far apart from common Category 5E cables, making it ideal for high-end transmission links supporting today’s demanding network protocols.
