Slim Specs Table

Reduce Interference in Dense Racks

This cable uses shielded construction to minimise crosstalk and EMI. In practice, this helps maintain stable 10GbE performance near power supplies or dense cabling. You should verify that your patch panels and switches support shielded connections to achieve the full benefit.

LSZH Safety for Enclosed Spaces

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket reduces toxic fumes during fire. This is a key consideration for server rooms and underfloor containment. However, you must confirm your local building regulations for LSZH usage in specific installations.

50CM Length for Clean Patching

A 50 cm lead reduces cable slack in high-density racks. So, it helps maintain airflow and organisation between adjacent patch panels and switches. Always measure your rack layout to confirm this length suits your specific setup.

RJ45 Connector Compatibility

The cable features standard RJ45 8P8C connectors. It is designed for Cat6A network ports. You should verify that your equipment uses RJ45 and supports Cat6A speeds before purchase.
