The CAT5 Cross-Connect Wire uses a unique webbing manufacturing process that binds conductors of twisted-pair cable to maintain consistent conductor spacing. Pair twists won't come loose during installation, and the cable exceeds TIA/EIA CAT5 specs. It's made of 24 AWG copper and is best suited in wiring closet apps.
The CAT5 Cable Prep Tool for Cross-Connect Wire strips the outer cable jacket and safely separates the webbed conductors.
