Overview
The Quest Cat6 Patchcord is a high-performance network cable designed for reliable data transmission in professional networking environments. This pre-terminated 20-foot assembly provides an effective solution for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, and patch panels within data centers or enterprise offices.
Constructed with 4-pair stranded unshielded copper conductors (24 AWG), the cable ensures consistent signal integrity. It is jacketed with a Non-Plenum (CMR) rated material, making it suitable for standard vertical tray applications. Equipped with snagless boots, the RJ45 connectors are protected from damage during installation and maintenance, extending the overall service life of the patchcord.
