Frequently Asked Questions
What does CMR rating mean?
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser. It is a fire safety rating for cables suitable for use in vertical runs through risers (shafts) between floors.
Is this cable shielded?
No, this is an unshielded (UTP) Cat 6 patch cable.
Can I use this for Gigabit speeds?
Yes, as a Category 6 cable, it is designed to support Gigabit Ethernet performance.
What is the purpose of the snagless boot?
The snagless boot protects the delicate locking tab on the RJ45 connector from being snapped off when pulling the cable through tight bundles or equipment racks.
Does this cable support both T568A and T568B wiring?
Yes, the cable is compatible with both universal wiring standards, ensuring it functions correctly in diverse networking environments.
