Overview
The Quest Cat 5e Patch Cord is a high-performance network cable designed for reliable data transmission in enterprise, office, and home networking environments. This 4-pair unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable is engineered to meet or exceed established Cat 5e performance standards, ensuring consistent connectivity for local area networks (LANs).
Constructed with 24 AWG stranded conductors, this patch cord offers the flexibility needed for routing within patch panels and equipment racks. The cable is pre-terminated with snagless boots that protect the RJ45 connectors during installation, extending the service life of the assembly. It is rated for Non-Plenum (CMR) use, making it suitable for standard vertical riser installations.
