Gepco Unveils Two-Channel Heavy-Duty Tactical Cat-5e Cable

Solution for applications that require multiple or redundant channels of Cat-5e cables in remote production or staging applications

Gepco International has introduced CTS2504HDX, a 2-channel snake consists of two elements of Gepco’s CT504HDX heavy-duty tactical Cat 5e cable under a rugged TPE jacket.

It is a solution for applications that require multiple or redundant channels of Cat-5e cables in remote production or staging applications.

Typically, the electrical performance and bandwidth of conventional Cat 5 cable is degraded through physical damage when used in portable applications, with the unique double-jacket construction of the CT504HD series designed to eliminate this issue.

While the inner jacket maintains the proper physical spacing between pairs to achieve ISO/IEC or TIA/EIA Cat 5e specifications, the durable TPE outer jacket protects the cable from physical damage or abuse.

In addition to the new CTS2504HDX, the CT504HD Series of heavy-duty Cat 5e cables includes three other types. The original CT504HD has 24 AWG stranded conductors for exceptional flexibility, while the CT504HDX features 24 AWG solid conductors for lower attenuation that allows for the full, recommended TIA distances for Cat 5e network cable. With the same basic construction as the new CTS2504HDX, the CTS4504HDX is a 4-channel snake consisting of four elements of CT504HDX under an overall rugged TPE jacket.

Heavy-duty tactical category 5e Assemblies provide a pre-terminated cabling solution for hostile environments. The CT504HD, CT504HDX and each element of the CTS2504HDX and CTS4504HDX can be terminated with either standard Cat 5 RJ45 connectors or ruggedized Neutrik etherCON connectors.

“The concern among Cat 5e cable users in the professional audio/video industry has been that it isn’t durable enough to handle the traditional wear and tear associated with the workload,” states Joe Zajac, market development manager for Gepco brand products. “Our CT504HD series was designed specifically to meet the needs of portable applications and provides the answer to professionals who are looking for a Cat 5e solution in remote environments.”
