cable shall be constructed of 23 AWG copper conductors
with FEP Plenum (CMP) insulation. The copper conductors shall be twisted in
pairs and separated by a cross-divider. All four pairs shall be surrounded by
MaTriX tape and a flame retardant jacket. The advanced MaTriX tape shall
suppress the effect of alien crosstalk allowing 10 Gb/s transmission, while
minimizing cable diameter. The innovative cable design shall provide installation
flexibility as cables can be routed in tight bundles through pathways and spaces.
