25 Pair Cat3 Cable PVC 1000 FT

1000Ft 25pair Cat3 Cable

Description:

A Cat3 25-pair cable is a multi-conductor cable that consists of 25 pairs of insulated copper wires twisted together. The wires are typically color-coded for easy identification and each pair is twisted together to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk.

The cable has an outer jacket made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) material to provide protection against physical damage, moisture, and other environmental factors. The cable's jacket is usually color-coded to indicate the type of cable and its purpose.

Cat3 25-pair cable is commonly used for voice and data transmission in telephone and Ethernet networks. It is capable of transmitting data at speeds up to 10 Mbps and has a maximum frequency of 16 MHz. The cable is typically terminated with an RJ21 or Amphenol connector on one end and individual RJ11 or RJ45 connectors on the other end for connection to telephones or network devices.

Although Cat3 cable is an older and slower Ethernet standard, it is still used in some legacy systems and applications that do not require high data rates or long transmission distances.
