Using a “Conductive”plastic allows an electrical connection to still be made to the recepticle for noise sensitive applications. Its high speed and low cost make it a good choice for cost sensitive high data rate applications up to 194 MBd. *ST is a registered trademark of AT&T. Optek Technology, Inc. 1215 W.
