Slim Specs Table

High-Frequency Performance for 25/40G Networks

This cable operates at 2000MHz, enabling up to four times higher throughput than Cat6a. It supports 25 Gigabit and 40 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The S/FTP shielding minimises signal loss and protects against electromagnetic interference. Because each pair is individually foil shielded, you get stable transmission in dense rack environments.

LSZH Safety for UK Installations

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket reduces toxic fumes during extreme heat exposure. This makes the cable suitable for poorly ventilated areas and strict building code compliance. In practice, it is ideal for industrial settings, transport hubs, and commercial offices. The outer diameter is 5.6 mm, allowing flexible routing in confined spaces.

Reliable PoE++ Power Delivery

This patch cord supports PoE++ (4PPoE) with a 100W budget. It powers high-demand devices like IP cameras and access points directly over Ethernet. The solid conductor type ensures consistent conductivity over the full 12m run. So, you can combine data and power without separate cabling.

Durable Connectors and Construction

The snagless boots protect the RJ45 clips during installation. Gold-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance and a precise fit. Rated for over 750 mating cycles, these connectors are built for longevity. The cable handles -/+90-degree bends, which helps in tight patch panels.

Certified and Tested for UK Standards

Each cable is ETL Verified to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards. It meets TIA/EIA-T568B certification for structured cabling. Furthermore, individual Fluke® DSX2-8000 testing confirms Cat8 performance. Backward compatibility with Cat6/6a ensures seamless integration into existing networks.
