Frequently Asked Questions
What does the snagless boot prevent?
The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab from breaking off when pulling the cable through tight cable management bundles.
Is this cable suitable for use in air plenums?
No, this cable is CMR (Riser) rated and should not be used in environmental air-handling spaces (Plenum).
What is the conductor gauge?
This cable uses 24 AWG stranded conductors.
Does this support both T568A and T568B wiring?
Yes, the cable is designed with universal wiring to support both T568A and T568B standards.
Is this a shielded cable?
No, this is an unshielded (UTP) cable.
