Cat 5e Patch Cable with Boots 25ft Blue

Overview

The Cat 5e Patch Cable with Boots is a high-performance network connectivity solution designed for reliable data transmission in commercial and residential local area networks. Featuring a 4-pair stranded unshielded 24 AWG conductor design, this cable provides the flexibility and durability required for patch panel connections and workstation hardware deployment.

Engineered for versatility, this patch cord includes integrated snagless boots to protect the connector latch and ensure a secure connection over repeated insertions. Its non-plenum (CMR) jacket rating makes it suitable for standard vertical riser applications within general-purpose building environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does CMR rating mean?
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser. It indicates the cable is tested for flame resistance and is safe to be used in vertical risers between floors.

Can I use this for Gigabit speeds?
Yes, Category 5e cabling is officially rated to support Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) applications.

Does this cable support both T568A and T568B wiring?
Yes, the patch cord is designed to function with universal wiring standards, making it compatible with both configurations.

What is the benefit of stranded conductors?
Stranded wire is significantly more flexible than solid wire, making these cables ideal for frequent movement and tight routing in patch panels.

Does the snagless boot affect installation?
The snagless boot is designed to make installation easier by preventing the connector latch from getting caught on other cables or rack hardware.
