ADC 24 AWG STC User Manual

Standard FTP Switchboard Cable

24 AWG STC, Shielded, Riser

ADC provides exceptional 85-Ohm central office copper cables for both analog and digital
services. Reducing electromagnetic interference (noise) and maintaining signal integrity
enriches data throughput. The improved crosstalk and attenuation of ADC’s central
office copper cables helps to eliminate throughput bottlenecks at high speeds. Enhanced
throughput translates to decreased service downtime and increased customer satisfaction.

As high-speed services move closer and closer to the subscriber premise, size and
space become significant obstacles. Many of ADC’s central office copper cables have
been designed with smaller outside diameters and cross-sectional areas without giving
up performance to meet the demanding space requirements of cabinets and remote
terminals. ADC’s central office copper cables are chosen for their excellent quality,
performance, size, and flexibility in many applications, including digital voice, data and
video. In addition, ADC’s central office copper cables adhere to industry standards and
known environmental regulations.
