Frequently Asked Questions
What does the CMR rating mean?
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser-rated. This indicates the cable is suitable for use in vertical shafts or riser pathways between floors.
Are these cables shielded?
No, these are unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables designed for standard network environments.
Does this cable support Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, as a Cat 6 rated cable, it is designed to support Gigabit Ethernet performance requirements.
What is the conductor type?
The cable uses 24 AWG stranded conductors for increased flexibility compared to solid conductor cables.
Are the boots removable?
The snagless boots are integrated into the connector design to provide strain relief and protection for the connector tab.
