HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, KENTUCKY, September 21, 2004 - General Cable Corporation's (NYSE: BGC) commitment to engineering and manufacturing excellence is behind the new characterized parameters designed into its GenSPEED 6000 Category 6 cable. The innovative design, which utilizes a tape separator, provides optimum electrical performance that exceeds TIA/EIA Category 6 standard. The improved GenSpeed 6000 cable provides increased protection against unwanted external noise sources otherwise known as crosstalk. "GenSPEED 6000 is yet another example of General Cable's continued pursuit to engineer above and beyond the industry standards," said Asef Baddar, Applications Engineer for General Cable. "With Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Equal Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT) values guaranteed at 1dB over industry standard, our customers are afforded greater assurance of outstanding overall cable balance. This is an exceptional value for more robust and complex applications at gigabit speed and full duplex transmissions." At Positive Power-Sum ACR (PSACR) of up to 300 MHz, GenSPEED 6000 cable provides an allowance for future bandwidth and high-speed data requirements. All of this optimum performance continues to be designed within a smaller overall diameter for ease of installation. GenSPEED 6000 cable features product-specific packaging, the new Pull-Pac® II with wide-mouth payout and the existing Spool-Pac® Cartons with internal spools, for easy installation and identification. This product also features our Tru-Mark™ print legend with footage marking from 1000' to 0' to maximize the usage of all available material on site. All GenSPEED cables are UL verified and meet or exceed TIA/EIA-568-B.2 standards. Independent third party testing further confirms the quality and performance of all GenSPEED enhanced cables.
