Slim Technical Specifications

Certified 10 Gigabit Performance

This cable is individually tested using a Fluke® DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer. It meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 specifications. You get minimal Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL). This ensures stable 10GbE connections up to 55 metres. Because it is ETL verified, you can trust the performance for demanding network tasks.

Reliable 100W PoE Power Delivery

The cable uses 100% bare copper, not CCA. It supports continuous 100W power throughput. This complies with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4. It is ideal for powering high-draw devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and NAS units. The spline separator aids heat dissipation during prolonged PoE use.

LSZH Safety and Flexible Design

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket produces less toxic fumes and smoke during a fire. This offers higher visibility for safer evacuation in UK commercial buildings. The cable is PVC-free. It features a snagless boot and a 40 mm bend radius for strong strain relief. This protects the RJ45 clip during pulls through conduits.

Professional Build Quality

StarTech.com uses 50-micron gold-plated connectors for reliable contact. The U/UTP construction and HD-PE insulation reduce crosstalk. The cable is rated for operating temperatures from 0 to 80 °C. It is designed for continuous use in professional environments. Detailed spec drawings are available for integration.
