Product Details

The ABAM (600B) and ABMM Series Central Office (CO) Cables are designed for use between switching and transmission equipment for distances up to 650 feet. The ABAM (600B) series offers low attenuation by using 22 AWG conductors. Both ABAM (600B) and ABMM series (24 AWG) are manufactured with a dark gray smooth PVC jacket and a 0.008 inch corrugated aluminum shield for additional Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) reduction.

Features
 • 22 and 24 AWG tinned copper conductors
 • 100 Ohm nominal Impedance
 • 0.008 inch corrugated aluminum shield
 • CMR listed
 • CAT 3 compliant
 • Band marked conductors

Benefits
 • Low attenuation, enabling longer run length; tinned copper conductors minimize change in wire-wrap joint resistance
 • Impedance mismatch with OSP cable is minimized
 • Higher EMI isolation over foil shields; great mechanical strength
 • Suitable for horizontal and vertical installations
 • Suitable for network applications
 • Easy identification of conductor ring mates
