Overview

Category 5e unscreened cords are 100% transmission tested to component performance as specified in ANSI/TIA-568-C.2. Assem-bled in a controlled environment using advanced manufacturing techniques to ensure consistent quality, these patch cords provide exceptional performance when mated with our category 5e connecting hardware and deliver supreme performance for network ca-bling systems. Category 5e patch cords incorporate slim-profile snag-free boots, which protect the plug latch, and a flexible, but du-rable cable strain relief and are compatible with both T568A and T568B wiring schemes. Patch cords are manufactured using ETL-verified 26-AWG stranded cable designed for greater flexibility and service life and are available in eight popular colors and in seven standard lengths.
