MediaTwist®


What is MediaTwist®?
MediaTwist is the first true multimedia cable. Based on the twisted pair technology of data cables, such as DataTwist®, MediaTwist improves upon every Category 5 specification. This is due to the bonded pairs and conductor control of previous products, and to its unique design, with a crescent-shaped jacket which dramatically improves crosstalk and makes MediaTwist almost installer-proof.

This improved performance allows MediaTwist to support not only data standards, such as 10baseT, 100baseT, ATM, and Gigabit Networking, but also be used for non-data applications such as analog or digital audio, analog or digital video, machine control, even broadband applications.

 

Is MediaTwist® the same as DataTwist 350®?
MediaTwist is based on many of the break-through improvements of DataTwist350 including bonded pairs, and precision control of conductor size and conductor insulation.

MediaTwist adds to this its unique crescent-shaped jacket.  The cresent shape dramatically reduces crosstalk and prevents pairs from nesting and preserves performance even when tied in knots!
