ICC Male to Open-End 25-Pair Telco Cable – Cat3 24AWG, 100% Solid Pure Copper, Gray Riser CMR Cable with 90-Degree 50-Pin Telco Connector for Voice and Low Data PBX Applications

Description

The ICC Cat3 Male to Open-End Telco Cable Assembly is designed for reliable voice and low-data applications, including PBX, telephone, and IP phone systems. This assembly features a 25-pair 24 AWG unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Category 3 cable with 100% annealed solid bare copper conductors, making it NEC Section 800.179 compliant, which mandates that “Conductors in communications cables, other than coaxial, shall be copper.” Rated for 75°C and 300V, it ensures stable network communications while reducing fire hazards. The cable is terminated with a 90-degree 50-pin male IDC telco connector (RJ21) featuring high-strength copper alloy contacts, plated with 30 micro-inches of gold over nickel for durability and conductivity, while the other end is left unterminated (blunt/open-end) for direct termination into 66 blocks, 110 blocks, telco patch panels, or distribution frames for flexible installations. The connector is configured as a 90-degree Amphenol-type Centronics 50 (CN50) male connector with a protective hood, making it ideal for compact installations. The cable is UL listed (E125268) and CMR riser-rated for flame resistance, allowing for safe vertical cable runs through risers. Compatible with ICC pre-wired 66 blocks and various voice-grade telco patch panels, this cable provides a secure and professional-grade solution for structured cabling environments.
