Overview
This Cat 5e patch cable is designed for high-performance data networking applications. It is engineered to facilitate reliable connectivity in local area networks, utilizing 4-pair stranded copper construction to ensure flexibility and durability during installation.
Featuring a 24 AWG conductor, this cable is ideal for patching between network switches, patch panels, and workstations. The inclusion of snagless boots protects the connector latches, facilitating ease of movement in dense cabling environments while maintaining a consistent, secure connection.
Designed for indoor use, this cable is Non-Plenum (CMR) rated, making it suitable for standard riser applications within building infrastructures. The cable arrives pre-terminated with high-quality RJ45 plugs, ensuring consistent performance and reducing on-site installation time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does CMR rating mean?
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser. It indicates the cable is tested for fire resistance and is approved for use in vertical shafts (risers) between floors in building infrastructures.
Is this cable shielded?
No, this is an unshielded (UTP) patch cable designed for standard networking environments.
Can I use this for Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, Category 5e cabling is designed to support data speeds up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) at distances up to 100 meters.
What is the conductor type?
This cable uses stranded conductors, which provides superior flexibility compared to solid conductor cables, making it ideal for patch cord applications.
Does the cable come with boots?
Yes, it features snagless boots on the RJ45 connectors to prevent the latch from breaking during cable management.
