The TX5e Cat 5e UTP Patch Cord is constructed of 28 AWG, unshielded, twisted pair, stranded, CM cable with Pan-Plug™ modular plugs on each end. The use of 28 AWG cable ensures that this patch cord has a small diameter, making it easy to install and work with. The patented tangle free latch prevents snags and provides easy release saving time on frequent moves, adds, and changes. The patch cord is 1.5 meters in length and red.
