Notes:
Some
skew-free cables are specific to a particular vendor’s UTP extension
products and are not compatible with Magenta products.
Please ensure
that any skew-free cable is non-proprietary prior use with Magenta
Products.
Due
to the manufacturing method employed, CAT-6 cables can exhibit much
greater skew than standard CAT-5/5e and may require skew compensation beyond
the capability of standard products. Please contact Magenta Research
for assistance.
