Frequently Asked Questions
What does CMR rating mean?
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser. It indicates that the cable jacket is rated for installation in vertical riser shafts between floors in a building.
Can this cable be used for Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, Category 5e cabling is designed to support 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet applications.
What is the benefit of the snagless boot?
The snagless boot covers the plastic retention tab of the RJ45 connector, preventing it from catching on other cables or structures during installation or removal.
Is this cable shielded?
No, this is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable.
Does it support both T568A and T568B wiring?
Yes, the cable is factory-terminated for universal wiring compatibility with T568A and T568B standards.
