Overview
The Quest Cat5e Snagproof Patch Cord is a high-performance copper patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in network environments. Featuring 4-pair stranded unshielded 24 AWG conductors, this cable is engineered to meet or exceed Cat5e performance standards, ensuring compatibility with modern Ethernet requirements.
This 20-foot patch cord is constructed with a non-plenum (CMR) rated jacket, making it suitable for general-purpose indoor installation. The inclusion of a snagless boot design protects the latch mechanism during installation and moves, preventing breakage and ensuring a secure connection to your networking hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does CMR rating mean?
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser. This indicates the cable is approved for use in vertical shafts or riser spaces between floors in a building.
Can this cable be used for T568A and T568B wiring?
Yes, this cable supports both T568A and T568B wiring configurations.
Is this an unshielded cable?
Yes, this is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable designed for standard networking environments.
What is the purpose of the snagproof boot?
The boot is designed to prevent the RJ45 connector's locking tab from snagging on other cables or components, reducing the risk of the tab breaking during installation.
Is this cable plenum-rated?
No, this cable is CMR (non-plenum) rated and is not intended for use in air-handling plenum spaces.
