Intended for fast Ethernet and Gigabit computer networks that require bandwidth-intensive voice, data, or video distribution applications. Drastically reduces both impedance and structural return loss (SRL). Each of the individual pairs is bonded together to help maintain the twist-spacing throughout the line right up to the termination point. Constructed from high quality copper cable, this design minimizes Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels. The molded, snagless boot prevents unwanted cable snags during installation and provides extra strain relief. Ideal for network adapters, hubs, switches, routers, DSL / cable modems, patch panels and other high performance networking applications.
