Low Skew Cable New
Description
Berk-Tek Low Skew cable is a four-pair (non-category compliant) UTP cable, specifically designed for RGB video applications, such as digital signage. This cable offers a cost-effective alternative to RGB coax cables. In addition, it can support video transmissions to distances longer than traditional Ethernet, which is limited to 100 meters. This cable will not support Ethernet.

Description
No Skew, No Blur, No Problem
To eliminate blur in fast-moving images and ensure the clarity of video transmissions Berk-Tek Low Skew cable has been designed to minimize the time delay skew of video transmission signals. With a skew of only 2 nanoseconds at 100 meters, you can be sure that images will be crystal clear.
Berk-Tek Low Skew Cable supports flawless video transmission to distances well beyond the limitations imposed by traditional Ethernet-based IP video systems. This cable is different from category cabling thanks to the specialized lay of the twisted pairs. While category cables require twist rates to minimize crosstalk, video transmission media requires twist rates that ensure signals transmitted on every pair arrive together.
The design expertise of Berk-Tek ensures that the cables we make support the applications you need to run. ...Because Your Business Runs Through Us.
Construction
24 AWG bare copper wire insulated with thermoplastic. Two insulated conductors twisted together to form a pair and four such pairs are cabled with a ripcord and jacketed with a flame-retardant PVC (non-plenum) or fluoropolymer (plenum) jacket.
Standards
- North American: UL 444 and C22.2 No. 214-02
- International: EU directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS)
Flame Rating
- Plenum – CMP
- Riser - CMR
- UL Listed
