Audio, Category 5e cable
The DataSound Combo Wire is a 4-conductor speaker wire combined with a Category 5e cable in a siamese configuration, designed as an all-in-one cable for home installations. Each of the four conductor speaker wires has a 65-strand wire count, while the Cat 5e cable can handle frequencies up to 350 MHz and data rates up to 1,000 Mbits/sec. The side-by-side, 2-jacket design lets you separate the two cables from one another while allowing each to stay within its own jacket. TRIBUTARIES www.tributariescable.com
