Deployment / Use Cases
Ideal for connecting network devices in office environments, data centers, and industrial settings. The 15-foot length provides flexibility for workstations, distribution panels, wall outlets, hubs, and security devices while maintaining signal integrity.
Use this cable for upgrading existing Cat5e networks to higher speeds, deploying VoIP systems with PoE, or organizing racks with color-coded patching. Its compatibility with earlier standards ensures seamless integration into mixed-infrastructure environments.
VoIP & Security Systems
Delivers both data and power to VoIP phones and IP cameras, reducing installation complexity and enabling centralized power management through PoE switches.
Data Center Patching
The snagless boots and flexible design facilitate easy insertion and removal in dense patch panels, while the green color aids visual organization and troubleshooting.
Physical Profile
The cable features a green PVC jacket with a weight of approximately 6.60 oz (187.11 g), making it lightweight yet durable for overhead trays, under-floor conduits, or desktop use. The snagless molded boots prevent catching on other cables or rack components during installation.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 6.60 oz (187.11 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
