Technical Specifications

10GbE Performance with EMI Protection

This cable supports 10GBase-T technology. It delivers consistent data transfer rates up to 10,000 Mbit/s. The S/FTP shielding protects against electromagnetic interference. This ensures a stable signal in electrically noisy environments. You get reliable connectivity for servers or high-resolution video streams.

LSZH Safety for UK Buildings

The jacket is made from Low Smoke Zero Halogen material. In a fire, LSZH cables produce minimal smoke and no halogen. This improves visibility during evacuation. It is a safer choice for offices, schools, and public buildings compared to standard PVC cables. The cable is also more eco-friendly.

100W PoE++ Power Delivery

This cable complies with the IEEE 802.3bt-2018 standard. It supports PoE++ (4PPoE) with a 100 W budget. This allows you to power Type 4 devices directly through the Ethernet cable. It is ideal for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or digital signage. You can reduce cable clutter by combining power and data.

Snagless Connectors with Strain Relief

The cable features snagless RJ-45 connectors. Molded boots protect the latch from catching on obstacles during installation. This prevents damage to the connector or the port. Integrated strain relief reduces stress at the termination points. This helps prevent cable fraying and extends the product’s lifespan.
