Abstract:
1. A system for reducing alien crosstalk in a communication network comprising: a first communication cable connected via a first enhanced patch cord to a first network device, said first enhanced patch cord being a first attenuating patch cord having a first patch cord attenuation greater than an attenuation of said first communication cable; and a second communication cable connected via a second enhanced patch cord to a second network device, said second enhanced patch cord being a second attenuating patch cord having a second patch cord attenuation greater than an attenuation of said second communication cable, wherein said first patch cord comprises a plurality of twisted communication wires and said first communication cable also comprises a plurality of twisted communication wires, said twisted communication wires of said first patch cord having more twists per length than said twisted communication wires of said first communication cable, and wherein the attenuation of the first patch cord is greater due to the first patch cord having more twists per length than said first communication cable.
