Cat 3 Phone Cable Description
The Cat 3 phone cable supports a transmission rate of up to 10 Mbps and a bandwidth of 16 MHz, making it ideal for transmitting digital, voice, and data signals. It is suitable for all Class C links and applications requiring Cat. 3 standard performance.
Key Features:
Superior Transmission Performance: Ensures high-quality signal transmission with low attenuation, minimal crosstalk, and a sufficient attenuation-to-crosstalk ratio (ACR). The cable exhibits low delay distortion, ensuring stable performance during data transmission.
Mechanical Strength & Stability: The cable is designed with strong mechanical properties, stable electrical performance, and excellent temperature resilience, making it reliable in various environmental conditions.
High-Quality Materials: The cable features high-purity oxygen-free copper conductors, ensuring optimal conductivity. The insulation is made from linear low-density polyethylene resin (LLDPE) for enhanced durability and performance.
Stable Internal Structure: The cable is made by twisting two pairs of core wires together, ensuring stability in both the internal structure and signal transmission process.
Durable Outer Jacket: The outer layer is constructed from high-quality PVC, offering excellent tensile strength, weather resistance, and strong anti-aging properties, which prolong the cable’s lifespan.
Wire Specifications: Available in Φ0.4mm, Φ0.5mm, and Φ0.65mm, allowing customers to choose the appropriate size based on their specific needs.
Operating Temperature: The cable performs well in a wide temperature range of -20℃ to 70℃, making it suitable for diverse environments.

Cat 3 Phone Cable Packaging
Our products are packaged in customized cartons of various sizes based on the material dimensions. Small items are securely packed in PP boxes, while larger items are placed in custom wooden crates. We ensure strict adherence to packaging customization and the use of appropriate cushioning materials to provide optimal protection during transportation.
Packaging: Carton, Wooden box, Paper barrel, Iron barrel, or Customized.
Manufacturing Process
- Wire Drawing: Copper is drawn to the desired thickness.
- Wire Stranding: Copper wires are twisted into pairs to form the core.
- Insulation: Each twisted pair is coated with insulation (typically LLDPE).
- Core Assembly: The twisted pairs are bundled into a central core.
- Jacket Extrusion: The core is covered with a protective outer PVC jacket.
- Testing and Quality Control: The cable is tested for performance standards.
- Cutting and Packaging: The finished cables are cut, coiled, and packaged for shipping.
