"DSL transmission on your outside plant copper network requires reliable, sealed contacts. C5C sealed, IDC contacts will optimize contact resistance and insulation resistance, reducing bit error rates. This superior connector will allow you to transmit at higher speeds over longer local loops."

The CAT5, compact, environmentally sealed IDC magazine from Tyco Electronics (C5C) is the latest addition to the Tyco Electronics' family of digital transmission quality connectors. It is a further development of the very popular family of IDC magazines like the QDF. It is a classic example of design and applied technology for achieving:

• Low attenuation
• High insulation resistance
• High SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio)
• Maximum bit-rate throughput up to CAT5 requirements. It uses proven high performance Tyco gel to achieve all of the above, in the outside plant environment, where weather and pollution elements play a major role in degradation of the digital signal as a result of connectivity deterioration in non-sealed connectors.
