Tight Twist Distribution Frame Wire is necessary for the deployment of both xDSL and HI-CAP (T-1/HDSL) circuits within the distribution frames of central offices. This higher capacity frame wire is manufactured with a tight twist to minimize the impacts of electromagnetic interferences within this indoor environment. The Tight Twist Distribution Frame Wire is available in a 24 gauge size with a heavy duty flame retardant PVC insulation. Heavy duty in this application means a higher level of abrasion resistance, higher cut through and a higher temperature rating. The 22 AWG product is intended for use on main distribution frames (conventional type), while the 24 AWG is intended for use on COSMIC (Modular) distributing frames. The product is available in various put-ups.
