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