Frequently Asked Questions
What does CMR rating mean?
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser. It indicates the cable is approved for use in vertical shafts or riser pathways within a building where fire resistance is required.
Is this cable shielded?
No, this is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable.
Can I use this for Gigabit speeds?
Yes, this cable is designed to meet Cat 6 specifications, which support Gigabit Ethernet applications.
What is the purpose of the snagless boot?
The snagless boot is molded over the RJ45 connector to prevent the plastic locking tab from catching on other cables or equipment during installation, which helps prevent breakage.
Are these cables compatible with existing Cat 5e hardware?
Yes, Cat 6 cabling is backwards compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5 components.
