Slim Specs Table

10GbE Performance with 500MHz Bandwidth

This Cat6a cable delivers a 500 MHz frequency bandwidth. It supports Multi-Gigabit speeds of 1/2.5/5/10 Gbps. The S/FTP shielding protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and cabling noise. This ensures stable signal transmission across the full 1.5m run. You can deploy this in high-density environments without performance loss.

Certified LSZH Safety for UK Buildings

The jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). This material is more eco-friendly than standard PVC. In the event of a fire, LSZH produces minimal smoke and no corrosive halogen gases. This improves visibility for safe evacuation. It is a preferred choice for commercial and public sector installations in the UK. Always confirm local fire safety regulations for your specific building type.

100W PoE++ Power Delivery

This cable supports IEEE 802.3bt-2018 (PoE++). It can deliver up to 100W of power to Type 4 devices. This is sufficient for high-power equipment like PTZ cameras, digital signage, or advanced wireless access points. The stranded copper conductors maintain flexibility while handling high current. You can power devices over the same cable that transmits data.

Snagless RJ-45 Connectors with Strain Relief

The connectors feature snagless boots. These molded boots protect the RJ-45 latch from catching on cable bundles during installation. Integrated strain reliefs reduce sharp bends at the termination points. This protects the internal wires from damage. The result is a more reliable connection and longer cable life in busy patch panels.

ETL Verified ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Compliance

StarTech.com cables are ETL Verified. This independent testing confirms compliance with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards. The verification covers insertion loss, return loss, and crosstalk limits. It also confirms EMI resistance for the STP shielding. You get documented performance for demanding 10G applications. Note: Compliance certificates listed are CE and RoHS. Always verify UKCA marking requirements if applicable for your specific installation.
