This specific model provides a solid link for longer runs where Wi-Fi is weak. The U/UTP (unshielded) design suits typical office environments with minimal interference. Gold-plated contacts ensure a clean connection. The PVC jacket offers flexibility for trunking or under-desk routing. This cable is RoHS compliant. However, the input does not specify UKCA or CE marking details. You should verify regional compliance if required for your business network.

Slim Specs Table

Reliable Gigabit Performance

The cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networking. This means it handles standard Gigabit Ethernet speeds. Use it to connect a PC to a wall socket or a switch. The 24 AWG stranded conductors maintain signal integrity over the 20-metre distance. However, input does not specify a maximum data rate. You should verify performance against your specific network switch requirements.

Durable Connectors and Boot Design

The snagless and molded cable boots protect the RJ-45 connector. This prevents the clip from breaking when pulled through tight trunking. Gold-plated connector contacts resist corrosion. This ensures a stable connection over time. The grey PVC jacket is flexible but robust. It is suitable for indoor use in office or home setups.

Flexible Installation for UK Setups

The 20-metre length is ideal for connecting distant devices without excess slack. It works well for linking a desktop PC to a central patch panel. The U/UTP design is common in standard office cabling. However, input does not specify shielded (S/UTP) variants. If your environment has high electrical interference, confirm if unshielded is sufficient.

Compliance and Safety

This cable is RoHS compliant. This restricts hazardous substances in the manufacturing. However, input does not specify UKCA or CE markings. You should confirm these for commercial installations in the UK. The PVC jacket is standard for networking cables. Always check local fire safety regulations for in-wall cabling.
