These cables are identical in construction and quality to the brand name alternatives but are offered at a more budget-friendly price.

Application

For use in applications that require short-ranged high-speed differential signalling, such as local area networks.

Construction

• Conductors – 2 x 20 AWG tinned copper/bare copper conductors
