You know the high performance benefits of using data cables featuring Belden’s unique Bonded-Pair technology. The Belden Cable Preparation Tool (1797B ) now makes it faster and easier than ever to prepare cables for connector termination. This tool is ideal for use with Belden’s DataTwist® 350, MediaTwist®, and DataTwist 600e Bonded Pair cables, providing special features that help separate twisted pairs. It can also be used to prepare any un-bonded pair cable for installation.
Pair Separation Techniques: Belden’s Cable Preparation Tool features both the new Pick technique and the traditional Blade Slot technique to better facilitate pair untwisting. The Pick technique utilizes a steel awl that Y is incorporated into the tip of the tool that is surrounded on both sides with guards to assist in pair alignment during the pair separation step. The Pick technique allows for a simple ”pick-n-pull” motion to easily separate the conductors of a twisted pair cable.
The Blade Slot Technique provides the technician an alternate method for separating the conductors quickly and easily. See the reverse side for instructions for either technique. DataTwist 600e: Beyond Category 6 The Cable Preparation Tool is packed with every spool of Belden DataTwist 600e data cable: a revolutionary UTP cable engineered specifically to perform well beyond proposed Category 6 standards. While proposed Category 6 cable is specified only to 250 MHz, DataTwist 600e is the only UTP cable in the industry fully characterized with guaranteed performance to 600 MHz.
So users have far more headroom to compensate for unforeseen factors that can inhibit the performance of a cabling system today…and protection of their technology investment for the future.
