Slim Technical Specifications

Reliable 10Gbps Performance

This StarTech.com cable delivers error-free Multi-Gigabit speeds. It supports 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and 10GBase-T connections. The 650 MHz frequency rating provides ample bandwidth for demanding applications. Because it uses 100% bare copper, you get consistent signal integrity. This avoids the performance loss found in cheaper CCA cables.

Certified Safety and LSZH Benefits

The jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). In a fire, it produces minimal toxic fumes and white smoke. This improves visibility for safer evacuation. For UK installations in risers, public buildings, or offices, this is a critical safety feature. The cable is CE and RoHS compliant.

Certified Performance and Construction

StarTech.com tests every cable with a Fluke® DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer. It is ETL verified to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 standards. This ensures low Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 clip during installation. It prevents snagging when pulling through conduits or cable management.

100W PoE Support and Power Efficiency

This cable supports IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE. It handles continuous 100W power throughput for demanding devices. The spline separator aids heat dissipation during prolonged use. It is ideal for powering IP cameras, VoIP phones, and NAS devices. You do not need separate power cables for these endpoints.

Flexible Installation and Durability

The 24AWG stranded copper wire offers flexibility. It has a 40 mm bend radius for strong strain relief. The 6 mm outer diameter fits standard RJ45 ports easily. However, the input does not specify the exact plug housing material. You should verify this if specific fire-retardant ratings are required for your installation.
