HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, KENTUCKY, July 11, 2005 – GenSPEED 5000 25 pair Category 5e
backbone cable is the newest addition to General Cable’s broad line of copper LAN cables. Available in both plenum and riser rated versions, this GenSPEED 5000 cable is ideal for backbone, horizontal and interconnect cable assembly applications.
“The GenSPEED 5000 25 pair category 5e cable is well suited for applications in zone cabling, linking wiring closets and multiple work area transition points,” according to Tuck Stites, General Cable’s Marketing Manager, Datacom Products. “Also, as an inter-closet backbone cable, it can be installed more efficiently and economically than multiple 4 pair cables, providing plenty of capacity in response to the increasing need for voice and data connections.”
