40Gbps Throughput for Demanding Setups
This cable uses S/FTP shielding to cut EMI. Each pair is foil-wrapped and braided. So, signal integrity stays high in busy data centres. The 26AWG pure bare copper wire lowers resistance. This ensures minimal loss over the 3-metre run. It meets IEEE 802.3ba and IEEE 802.3bt standards. For UK buyers, confirm compatibility with your specific switch ports. This is vital for 40GBASE-T deployments.
PoE++ Power Delivery
The cable supports PoE++ (4PPoE) up to 100W. It powers devices like high-performance APs and PTZ cameras. This removes the need for separate power adapters. The LSZH jacket is flame-retardant. It emits low smoke and zero halogen fumes. This is crucial for UK building compliance in enclosed spaces. Verify your PoE source matches the 100W budget.
Snagless RJ45 with Gold Plating
The connectors feature 50-micro gold plating. This resists corrosion and ensures a precise fit. The snagless boot protects the latch during installation. Rated for over 750 mating cycles, durability is assured. The straight connectors suit standard patch panels. Always check your port orientation before ordering.
Flexible LSZH Construction
The Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket is flexible. It handles -/+90-degree bends without damage. This aids routing in tight UK server racks. The outer diameter is 5.6mm. It suits high-density cabling environments. Storage temperature ranges from -20 to 60°C. Confirm environmental specs match your installation site.
