Frequently Asked Questions
What does CMR rating mean?
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose cable, Riser-rated. This indicates the cable jacket is suitable for use in vertical shafts that run between floors in commercial buildings.
Can I use this for Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, Category 5e cables are designed to support Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) speeds at distances up to 100 meters.
Does this cable support PoE?
Yes, this 24 AWG stranded cable is capable of supporting standard Power over Ethernet applications.
What is the benefit of the snagless boot?
The snagless boot protects the plastic locking tab on the RJ45 connector from catching on other cables or hardware, preventing accidental damage during installation or cable management changes.
What wiring standard is used?
The cable uses universal wiring, making it compatible with both T568A and T568B connectivity standards.
