ZGFS 22AWG dual shield FTP CAT3 riser cable is commonly used as digital transmission cable for DS1/T1, DS1C and DS2 frequencies. This design provides true TIA Category3 electrical performance to support applications where T1 speeds and low-loss shielded cable is required. Signal interference is greatly reduced due to the superior shielding performance of dual aluminum or polyester foil.
