Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the snagless boot?
The snagless boot protects the RJ45 connector latch from catching on other cables or hardware, preventing breakage during installation.
Can this cable be used in plenum spaces?
No, this cable is CMR (Riser) rated and is intended for non-plenum applications.
Are these cables wired for specific standards?
Yes, they are wired for universal compatibility, supporting both T568A and T568B wiring standards.
What does 24 AWG mean?
24 AWG refers to the thickness of the copper conductors inside the cable, which is standard for high-performance patch cords.
Are these cables shielded?
No, these are unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables.
