Reliable Fast Ethernet performance

The cable supports 10/100Base-T(X) networking standards. It delivers 100 Mbit/s data transfer for typical office tasks. Because it runs at 100 MHz, it suits standard desktop and VoIP use. However, it is not specified for Gigabit speeds. If you need 1000BASE-T, confirm device compatibility before purchase.

Snagless moulded boot design

The snagless cable boot helps prevent the RJ45 clip from catching on fabric or rack edges. Also, the flush moulded strain relief adds durability at the connector. This reduces damage during repeated plug and unplug cycles. In practice, it supports tidy cable management in short runs.

Flexible 24AWG stranded conductors

The 24AWG stranded copper conductors offer good flexibility for tight bends. So, this cable suits patch panels and desk setups with limited space. It is U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair), which is common for office environments. If you have high EMI, you may require shielded cabling.

Gold-plated contacts for connectivity

The connector contacts are plated with gold to aid corrosion resistance. This helps maintain consistent signal quality over time. The connectors are RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male. Note that connector shielding is not specified; verify if you need shielded connectors.

Plug and play installation

The cable is plug and play, with no drivers or configuration required. It works with standard Ethernet ports on PCs, printers, and switches. The grey PVC jacket is practical for neat office cabling. If you need specific lengths or colours, confirm available options.
