LSZH Safety for UK Installations

The LSZH jacket is a key feature for UK building compliance. It minimises smoke and halogen release during combustion. This is critical for cable runs in ceilings, risers, and confined spaces. You should confirm your local fire safety regulations for fixed cabling.

CAT6A supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over the full 2-metre length. This ensures low latency for servers and workstations. The cable is backward compatible with CAT6 and CAT5e networks. However, you must verify that your network switches and NICs support 10GbE to gain the full benefit.

RJ45 Connectivity

The cable features standard RJ45 connectors. These are compatible with most UK network sockets and patch panels. The exact connector plating (gold or nickel) is not specified. You should check your patch panel port type to ensure a secure fit.
