Questions & Answers

Molded and snagless cables both feature identical RJ-45 termination styles and offer equivalent performance.

  • Molded cables bond the RJ-45 connector and cable with a molded boot, leaving the connector's lock exposed. They are best suited for environments with few connection/reconnection cycles, such as areas that are difficult to reach.
  • Snagless cables have a protective flap on the boot to safeguard the RJ-45 connector's lock, making them ideal for settings where the plug is frequently unplugged.

You should not need to choose between molded and snagless. Many cables have both features.
