Overview
The Cat 5e Snagproof Patch Cord is a high-performance networking cable designed for reliable data transmission in professional Ethernet environments. This 25ft cable is engineered for standard network applications, providing a stable connection for workstations, routers, and switches.
Constructed with 4-pair stranded, 24 AWG unshielded conductors, this patch cord offers excellent flexibility and signal integrity. It features a CMR (Non-Plenum) jacket rating, making it suitable for general-purpose indoor installation. The inclusion of snagless boots protects the RJ45 locking tabs, ensuring easy installation and removal without damaging the connector or hindering movement in high-density rack environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the snagless boot feature do?
The snagless boot is designed to cover the RJ45 connector's locking tab, preventing it from catching or breaking off when pulling the cable through cable management or crowded spaces.
Is this cable plenum rated?
No, this cable is CMR rated, meaning it is for general-purpose indoor riser applications. It is not suitable for installation in plenums (air-handling spaces).
Can I use this for Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, Cat 5e cables are capable of supporting Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) over the distances typically found in patch cord applications.
What is the conductor configuration?
This cable uses 4-pair stranded 24 AWG copper conductors, designed specifically for the flexibility required in patch cords.
Are these cables pre-tested?
These cables meet or exceed Cat 5e performance standards for consistent data transmission quality.
