Frequently Asked Questions
What does CMR rating mean?
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser, which indicates the cable is approved for use in vertical shafts (risers) in buildings but is not rated for plenum spaces.
Are these cables shielded?
No, these are unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables.
Can I use these for Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, this cable is designed to meet or exceed Cat 6 standards, making it suitable for 10/100/1000Base-T networks.
What is the purpose of the snagless boot?
The snagless boot covers the RJ45 clip, preventing it from catching on other cables and breaking during installation or movement.
What wiring configuration is used?
These cables support universal wiring, meaning they are compatible with both T568A and T568B pinout configurations.
