Type 2

150 ohm shielded twisted-pair (STP) cabling conforming to the IBM Cabling System specifications. Type 2 cable is popular with those who insist on following the IBM Cabling System because there are two twisted pairs of 22 AWG solid conductors for data communications that are enclosed in a braided shield. In addition to the shielded pairs, there are four pairs of 22 AWG solid conductors for telephones that are included in the cable jacket but outside the braided shield. Tested for transmission frequencies up to 16MHz. Available in plenum and nonplenum versions.
