It is equipped with a durable gray PVC coating, which allows you to color-code your network cables as needed. To ensure long-term performance, this high-quality Cat6 patch cable features a snagless design that protects the clips of the RJ45 connector from damage, as nothing can catch on the cable during installation. The cable also has a molded PVC strain relief that prevents the RJ45 connection points from being bent too sharply, thereby reducing the risk of cable failures.
