1 What does Booted mean? - The cables have a protective boot that helps prevent the locking tabs on the RJ45 connectors from being damaged or accidentally snapped off.

2 What does UTP and FTP mean? - UTP = Unshielded Twisted Pair - FTP = Foil Shielded Twisted Pair.

3 What does Shielded mean? - FTP cables are designed to protect data from ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI), which is known to degrade or interrupt connectivity. Electromechanical devices, such as electric motors, transformers, magnets, and fluorescent lighting ballasts cause this type of interference.
