Tight Twist Distribution Frame Wire is necessary for the deployment of
both xDSL and HI-CAP (T-1/HDSL) circuits within the distribution frames of
central offices. This higher capacity frame wire is manufactured with a tight
twist to minimize the impacts of electromagnetic interferences within this
indoor environment. The Tight Twist Distribution Frame Wire is available in
both 22 and 24 gauge sizes with a heavy duty flame retardant PVC insulation.
Heavy duty in this application means a higher level of abrasion resistance,
higher cut through and a higher temperature rating. The 22 AWg product is
intended for use on main distribution frames (conventional type), while the
24 AWg is intended for use on COSMIC (Modular) distributing frames. The
product is available on spools.
