Overview
These Cat 5e patch cables are designed for reliable high-speed network connectivity in enterprise and data center environments. Each cable is constructed as a 4-pair stranded unshielded assembly featuring 24 AWG conductors, ensuring flexibility and consistent signal integrity for standard networking applications.
Equipped with protective snagless boots, these cables prevent connector latch breakage during installation and maintenance in dense cable management areas. The cables are Non-Plenum (CMR) rated, making them suitable for vertical riser pathways and general-purpose horizontal cabling environments.
