Overview
The Quest Cat 5e Snagproof Patch Cord is a high-quality, 4-pair stranded unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable designed for reliable network connectivity. Engineered for performance, this patch cord is an ideal solution for patch panel connections, workstation outlets, and general office network environments.
Featuring a 24 AWG conductor construction, these cables are built for durability and consistent signal integrity. The inclusion of a snagless boot design protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and maintenance, preventing damage in high-density rack environments where cables are frequently managed.
This cable is rated for Non-Plenum (CMR) applications, making it suitable for vertical riser runs in commercial buildings. Each cord is pre-terminated with high-performance 8-position RJ45 plugs, providing a plug-and-play solution for rapid network deployment.
