Description AMP Enhanced Category 5 patch cable assemblies exceed the proposed TIA 568B.2, TIA/EIA 568-C and ISO/IEC 11801 Class D requirements for Category 5E/Class D, IEC 61156-6, EN 50288-3-2 performance. They comply with all of the performance requirements for current and proposed applications such as Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T), 10 and 100BASE-Tx, token ring, 155 Mbps ATM, 100 Mbps TP-PMD, ISDN, analog and digital video, and analog and digital voice (VoIP). AMP manufacturing techniques create consistent performance superior to standard cable assemblies. AMP Enhanced Category 5 patch cable assemblies are manufactured using colored, stranded cable and transparent SL Boot. Specification (text in brackets [ ] requires a choice) Patch cable assemblies shall be constructed using 50-micron gold-plated modular plugs, wired to the T568A wiring pattern. The cable assemblies shall utilize colored cable and transparent SL boots Cable assemblies shall comply with TIA/EIA Category 5E performance requirements and shall be backed by a 25-year system warranty provided by the manufacturer to the customer. Cable assemblies shall be [gray, white, yellow, blue, green, black, orange or red] in color.  Black Gray Blue Green Red White Yellow Orange 1859244-X 1859238-X 1859239-X 1859240-X 1859241-X 1859242-X 1859243-X 1859237-XDash number (-X) specifies length.
