Slim Specs Table

High-Speed CAT6A Performance

This cable meets CAT6A standards for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. It supports higher frequencies than CAT5e or CAT6. So, it handles bandwidth-heavy applications without bottlenecking. In practice, this reduces latency for servers and workstations.

Low Smoke Zero Halogen Safety

The LSZH jacket limits toxic fume release during combustion. This is critical for enclosed UK data centres and offices. Because the cable emits minimal smoke, visibility improves during an emergency. Also, it helps meet strict building safety policies.

Flexible 1-Metre Reach

A 1-metre length reduces cable clutter in tight racks. It connects patch panels to switches without excess slack. However, always measure your rack depth first. This length suits short links between adjacent hardware.

RJ45 Connector Compatibility

The cable features standard RJ45 connectors. It works with PCs, switches, routers, and IP cameras. Verify your device uses an 8P8C port before purchase. Also, confirm your network infrastructure is Ethernet-based.
