Magenta endorses Mohawk cable for MultiView product line

June 1, 2008

LEOMINSTER, Mass. — Magenta Research, a manufacturer of equipment for video, audio and digital signage distrubution, has endorsed Mohawk's Spectrum Low Skew UTP cable for use with its MultiView Series product line.

The approval follows rigorous in-house testing of Mohawk's cable with a wide range of Magenta manufactured signal distribution systems, products that concurrently pass analog video, stereo audio and duplex RS-232 signals on a single cable. The Mohawk cable facilitated the transmission and reception of strong and consistent signals, even over a single 2,000-foot length of cable.

Mohawk Spectrum low skew cable is available in plenum and non-plenum versions that fit all categories of application types, from commercial to residential. Both cables also comply with EU-RoHS directive regulations.

"The cable was designed to deliver the uncompromising signal quality and clarity that have been demanded from Magenta's products and the rigorous tests they perform," said Joe Barry, Mohawk's manager of specialty products and designer of the cable. "We know that distance and signal quality are the two most important criteria to the end user to ensure a reliable and versatile installation and that is exactly what these cables provide."

"We ran Mohawk's cable through a battery of tests," said Magenta chief scientist Chris Miller. "The end result was that it performed exceptionally well with Magenta's MultiView products, even at 2,000 feet when used with Magenta's flagship XR-2000 receiver. We endorse the use of Mohawk M58813 and M58814 as a MultiView cabling solution with no hesitations."
