Cat3 Station Wire
Cat3 station wire is designed and engineered for voice, text, data, video, and image transmission, and its transmission characteristics are specified for frequencies up to 16MHz. The wire is typically available in pair counts from 2 to 6. It is suitable for use between the point of demarcation (the network interface device or protector) and the telephone termination device within single and multi-family dwellings.
