Specification

About:

• The Category 3 (Cat3) telephone cable is designed for voice and data communication applications, primarily in telephone systems. It features solid bare copper conductors for reliable performance and durability. The cable is unshielded, which is typical for telephone cables used in environments with minimal electromagnetic interference (EMI). The semi-rigid PVC jacket provides a balance between flexibility and rigidity, making it easier to install in fixed installations. Rated for 300V, this cable is suitable for low-voltage telephone and data communication systems.
