Slim Specifications

Reliable Fast Ethernet Performance

This cable supports 10/100Base-T(X) networking standards. It operates at 100 MHz for stable data transfer. Because it is U/UTP, it provides basic noise resistance for typical office environments. However, it is not shielded for industrial interference. So, it is ideal for standard desk connections.

Flexible Stranded Conductor Design

The stranded conductor type offers superior flexibility compared to solid core. This makes the cable easier to route around desks and furniture. It resists damage from repeated bending or movement. For example, it works well for temporary setups or frequent reconfiguration. The flush moulded boot adds strain relief at the connector.

Durable Moulded Boot & Snagless Clip

The moulded cable boot provides robust protection at the stress points. The snagless design prevents the RJ45 clip from catching on fabrics or Velcro ties. This extends the life of the cable in busy environments. However, the connector itself is not shielded. Always verify the clip engages fully in the port.

Wide Compatibility & Standards

This cable complies with IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u standards. It is RoHS and REACH certified for safety. The blue PVC jacket is easy to identify in a bundle. In practice, it connects routers, switches, and PCs instantly. No drivers are needed; it is truly plug and play.
