A foil is wrapped around the cable protecting it from electromagnetic and radio Frequency interference. Snagless boot prevents unwanted cable snags during installation and provides extra strain relief. The patch cords are designed for mechanical and electrical reliability, using quality materials and processes, to provide a patch cord solution which delivers a consistent high level of systems performance whilst incorporating design features that allow a “one style fits all” cord application. The low profile molded boot and snag free latching allows the cords to be deployed within even the most densely populated network installations deploying the latest blade server technology.
