Perfect Path™ Introduces One-Stop Shopping for Custom A/V Installers With Bulk CAT5e, CAT6, Speaker, and Perfect Flex™ Coaxial and Mini-Coax Cables

By Gary Reber

Perfect Path™ today announced that it has enhanced its bulk cable portfolio for the custom installation market, providing installers with one-stop shopping for CAT5e and CAT6 cables, 12-gauge to 16-gauge speaker wire, and the Perfect Flex™ line of coaxial and mini-coax cables. To save installers time and money, Perfect Path's bulk cable offering combines superior electrical performance and lasting quality in a unique, user-friendly package.

"Service calls to replace damaged cable not only significantly raise operational expenses for custom A/V installers, but also create a hassle and system downtime for customers," said Eric Bodley, vice president and general manager of consumer electronics at PPC®. "The best way to reduce these service calls is to use quality cables that pass rigorous reliability testing and offer superior signal quality for the ultimate user experience. That is exactly what our bulk CAT, speaker, and coaxial cables offer."

For high performance and reliability, CAT5e and CAT6 cables are tested for 350 MHz and 500 MHz, respectively, while the 12-gauge and 16-gauge oxygen-free copper (OFC) stranded speaker wire features superior shielding and stability. In addition, Perfect Flex coaxial and mini-coax cables offer electrical performance of up to 3 GHz for future-ready installation, micro-crack resistance with superior flexibility, and advanced corrosion inhibitors for lasting quality.

All of Perfect Path's bulk cables offer sequential foot markings to enable quick and easy inventory tracking. The cables are packaged in the unique tech-friendly PerfectCube™ cable box for kink-free playout, saving time and reducing hassle in the field. To reduce waste, the box features a robust, crush-proof design.

Made from 100 percent RoHS-compliant material and using the latest eco-friendly manufacturing processes — such as air reserve tanks to reduce electrical consumption and "smog hog" units to maintain low emissions certification — Perfect Path's bulk cables are NEC-rated for in-wall use and are UL/ETL-listed for consistent performance.
