FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed this cable supports?
This Category 5e Ethernet cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (1000 Mbps), making it suitable for both Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) network applications. It maintains this performance across its entire 7-foot length with proper installation.
What does 'non-booted' mean for the RJ-45 connectors?
Non-booted connectors lack the protective rubber boot that typically covers the connector latch. This design makes the connectors more compact and easier to insert and remove in tight spaces, such as densely populated patch panels or switch ports where clearance is limited.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with any network device featuring standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports, including patch panels, network switches, routers, media converters, computers, printers, and other networked equipment. The RJ-45 male connectors on both ends provide universal connectivity without requiring adapters.
What does the CM jacket rating indicate?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates the cable jacket meets specific fire safety and smoke production standards for use in commercial buildings. CM-rated cables are suitable for installation in plenum spaces and other areas where building codes require certified cabling materials.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This cable uses Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) construction, meaning it lacks additional metallic shielding around the wire pairs. UTP cables are standard for most office and home networking environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal, providing reliable performance with simpler installation.
What is the warranty coverage for this Ethernet cable?
This AddOn Ethernet cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. The warranty provides assurance of long-term reliability for your network infrastructure investments.
