    Question What does SNAGLESS mean?

    In terms of network cabling, what does snagless mean? Is it a good thing? What's the alternative/opposite to a snagless cable?

    Also, I've heard the term 'snagless boot' been thrown around - what is it?

    Thanks for the help

    So a snagless cable is just one which comes with the plus cover (boot)?

    Thanks

    they are great if you have to pull a cable but suck when you try to unplug them
    If your sig is longer than your post then type more.

    Do you know how hard it is to install a boot after you crimped both ends!!!! I remember back in the day (newbie) I accidently installed a boot on backwards *lol* Or whatnot...

    I sometimes messed up with TokenRing too.. Since there is a screw on part that needs to go onto the cable prior to pressing the cable into the colored rings and closing the connector

    Yeah, it's very annoying when you need to unplug the cable.

    I've heard of TokenRings before - what are they?
