Why choose it

The stranded copper conductors give this cable the flexibility needed for tight bends and frequent reconnections, while the snagless boots protect the locking tabs when pulling the cable through cable trays or crowded patch panels. It is fully backward compatible with Cat. 5 and Cat. 5e networks, so you can use it as a future-proof upgrade or a direct replacement.

• Connecting computers to wall outlets or switches in home and small office networks
• Linking routers, modems, and access points where a longer reach is needed
• Gaming consoles, smart TVs, and media players that benefit from a stable wired connection
• Patch panel to switch connections in structured cabling systems

Good to know

The cable is RoHS compliant and rated for operating temperatures from -20°C to 60°C, making it suitable for most indoor environments. The grey PVC jacket blends with typical office décor and is easy to label or identify among other cables.
