The LM-RDT cable family utilizes precision twist technology, which meticulously controls the twist rate of each pair, enabling exceptional transmission performance for alien crosstalk and cable balance in a very small diameter cable. This technology was developed based on over 60 years of experience in cable design and the manufacture of billions of feet of cable.
"The expansion of Leviton's LM-RDT family allows our customers to achieve an excellent return on investment for their infrastructure," said Todd Harpel, Senior Director of Global Copper Cable at Leviton Network Solutions. "These cables reduce the size and cost of cable pathways, minimize job site waste with a groove-free design, and accelerate deployments with Leviton's flexible cable jacket technology. This makes them easier to pull, route, and terminate for smoother installations."
The expansion of the LM-RDT family includes two new cables:
LM-RDT CMR: A spliceless Cat 6A UTP CMR for customers who need high-density Cat 6A solutions that can fit into constrained or dead-end pathways and spaces originally designed for Cat 5e or Cat 6. It features an outer diameter of 0.245", compared to the industry's typical cable diameter of 0.260".
I/O LM-RDT: Dual-rated for outdoor CMP and CMX applications. This cable features award-winning FLX-1™ technology, which reduces recoil and improves cable flexibility for an industry-leading indoor/outdoor cable installation experience. This jacket technology has been rigorously tested in Leviton's Systems Verification Lab to withstand water, sunlight, and extreme temperatures. It has an outside diameter of 0.235", compared to the industry-typical 0.270" cable diameter for this cable type.
