Hitachi Cable Manchester (www.hcm.hitachi.com) has introduced a Category 5e, 50-pair cable approved for use in riser- and plenum-rated applications. The cable is constructed using two bonded 25-pair legs to facilitate cable pulling and deliver improved flexibility.

The easy-tear web design allows quick separation in the field, the manufacturer says. These Category 5e cables are fully component-compliant to the power-sum backbone cable requirements specified in TIA/EIA-568B.2.
