ADC DS1C, DS2 User Manual

Category 3 DS1/DS1C/DS2
Transport System Cable

22 AWG STC, Dual Shield, Riser (600C Equiv.)

ADC provides exceptional 100-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.
