Slim Specs Table

Improved Airflow in High-Density Racks

This Slim Cat6 cord is 36% thinner than standard cables. Because it is slimmer, it increases airflow in tight racks. It also reduces heat buildup around equipment. So, it helps maintain stable operating temperatures.

Reliable Gigabit and PoE++ Performance

It supports 1000 Mbit/s data rates for fast networks. Because it uses pure bare copper, signal loss is low. It also delivers up to 100W PoE++ for powered devices. So, it is ideal for switches and cameras.

Durable LSZH Construction

The LSZH jacket emits low smoke and toxic fumes in fire. Because of this, it suits trains, aircraft, and industrial sites. It also meets building code requirements in many UK settings. So, it offers safer long-term installations.

Snagless Design for Easy Routing

The snagless boots protect RJ45 clips during fitting. Because the cable is flexible, routing through narrow gaps is easier. It also reduces the risk of snags or breakage. So, it speeds up deployments in crowded panels.

Individually Tested for Signal Integrity

Each cable is tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer. It meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 specifications. Because of this, you get minimal Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL). So, the connection remains stable and consistent.
