I was asked to install an Ethernet Over Copper circuit, and firs they said they needed (1) cable with all 4 pairs. Then they changed it to (2) cables using 2 pairs each on (4) RJ-48 jacks, then (3) RJ-48 jacks. I get the impression someone is confused! Now they say "The IW should be total of 3 pair extended (2 wire twisted pairs ABAN or House cable.)" Does anyone know ?

It is very similar to OSP cable, except that it has a dark gray PVC jacket. This type of cable is typically only used in central offices or riser shafts. Ed Vaughn, MBSWWYPBX
