Why you'll need it

The AMP NETCONNECT Enhanced Category 5 cabling system is your solution to ensuring your network infrastructure meets today's needs and tomorrow's. If your application calls for Category 5 UTP, consider the NETCONNECT Enhanced Category 5 system

instead. It exceeds TIA/EIA Category 5e performance requirements by a generous margin. This margin means peace of mind in meeting today's applications and the confidence that you have a cabling system for the long run. It's an investment that pays off in superior performance over "traditional" Category 5 systems.

The NETCONNECT Enhanced Category 5 system is a UTP cabling system that is fully tested as both a link and a channel to exceed requirements of TIA/EIA-568-B Category 5e. This high-level performance requires cables and connectors engineered and manufactured to exacting standards. And this extended operating range means better performance than Category 5 UTP across the entire range of performance characteristics: lower attenuation, less crosstalk, higher ACR and return loss and lower skew. Such improvements in performance mean four things to your cabling system:

1. Provides the infrastructure to make it easier to migrate to new network systems.

2. Allows you to migrate to multi-pair applications that have low-skew and power sum performance requirements.

3. Answers future networking demands today.

4. Is easier to install and certify for compliance, because of increased performance margins.
