Product Details

The 1161A Series Central Office (CO) Cables are designed for use between switching and transmission equipment, spanning distances up to 565 feet. With short twist lays, 1161A series offers superior crosstalk performance over standard telephone cable. It is manufactured with a foil shield for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) reduction. The 1161A series meets or exceeds all applicable requirements of Telcordia® GR-137 specifications.

Features:
• 24 AWG tinned copper conductors
• Solid color Polyolefin insulation
• 100 Ohm nominal Impedance
• Short pair lays/tight twists
• Aluminum foil shield
• Tinned copper drain wire
• CMR listed
• 75°C rating
• Rip cord

Benefits:
• Small diameter and light weight results in smaller bundles of cables and improved flexibility(compared with 600 Series)
• Tinned copper conductors minimize change in wire-wrap joint resistance
• Greater crush resistance and improved transmission characteristics
• Impedance mismatch with OSP cable is minimized
• Improved crosstalk performance and pair identification
• EMI isolation
• Easier termination and superior grounding
• Suitable for horizontal and riser installations
• Wider operating temperature range
• Added ease of jacket removal
