Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable plenum rated?
No, this cable is CMR (Riser) rated, which is designed for general vertical and horizontal installations, not plenum air spaces.
Can I use this for T568A and T568B wiring?
Yes, the cable is wired to support universal T568A and T568B standards.
Are the connectors pre-installed?
Yes, this is a pre-terminated patch cord with RJ45 plugs on both ends.
What does the snagless boot do?
The boot protects the release tab on the RJ45 connector, preventing it from snapping off during cable routing and installation.
Is the wire solid or stranded?
This cable uses stranded conductors, which provides greater flexibility than solid core cables.
