Multi-Pair Cable

Performance markings should be provided to show the applicable performance category. These markings do not replace safety markings.
Services with incompatible signal levels should be partitioned into separate binder groups. Guidelines for shared sheaths are provided in Annex B of '568-B.1.
Transmission requirements are equivalent to horizontal cables except that hybrid requirements apply when multiple cable units are contained within the same sheath.
Note: Tip conductors have colored insulation that corresponds to that of the binder group. Ring conductors have colored insulation that corresponds to that of the pair.
Backbone twisted-pair cables consist of solid 0.51mm (24 AWG) cables that contain more than four pairs (typically multiples of 25-pairs are used). An overall shield is optional.
