GigaBase 350 CAT5e Patch Cables with snagless boots meet or exceed current CAT5e standards. Molded snag-free boots prevent snags, cable kinks, and bent pins when removing them from patch panels. They reduce crosstalk as well. Cables feature four pairs, RJ-45 connectors, and a PVC jacket. Tuned-plug design maintains a tighter twist and reduces noise. Gold-plated contacts are designed for an insertion/extraction life of 1000 cycles.
