Overview
This Cat 5e patch cable is designed to provide reliable connectivity for network applications. Engineered as a 4-pair stranded unshielded cable, it features a 24 AWG conductor construction to support high-speed data transmission while maintaining flexibility for installation in patch panels and network racks.
The cable is pre-terminated with 8-position RJ45 plugs and equipped with snagless boots to protect the connector latch during deployment. Rated for non-plenum (CMR) environments, this patch cable is suitable for general-purpose networking infrastructure where flame-retardant cabling is required.
