Overview
The Quest Cat 5e Patchcord is designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in local area network (LAN) environments. This 4-pair unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable assembly is engineered to meet or exceed industry Cat 5e performance standards, ensuring consistent signal integrity for network applications.
Constructed with 24 AWG stranded conductors, this cable provides the necessary flexibility for patch panel management and equipment connectivity. Each assembly features factory-terminated 8-position RJ45 plugs protected by snagless boots, which simplify routing and prevent damage to the locking tab during installation in high-density rack environments. The cable is CMR (Non-Plenum) rated for general purpose indoor installations.
