TourCat series Category 5E Cable

 

The Van Damme TourCat flexible patch cable has the feel and flexibility of Van Damme Microphone Cable combined with Category 5E performance to TIA/EIA-568-B.2-2001 standards. With Ethernet or Ethernet based protocols being increasingly used in the entertainment industry a flexible roadworthy Cat 5E cable is a necessity and is ideal for use with Neutrik’s Ethercon connector range.

Application notes:
Meets the requirements of Category 5E TIA/EIA-568-B.2-2001
Recommended maximum distance for 100MBits/s data rate is 85 metres; longer runs are possible but not guaranteed.
