MEGAPIC® Category 5 cables provide an extension of the LAN beyond the premises. These cables are ideal for direct burial, underground and lashed aerial applications.

Features:
• Transmission performance characterized to 100 MHz
• Metallic shield tapes
• Fully filled constructions

Benefits:
• Extends the LAN to the entire campus
• Facilitates grounding according to NEC requirements
• Helps prevent intrusion of moisture
