Slim Specs Table

CAT6A Performance for 10GbE Networks

This cable meets the CAT6A specification. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) up to 10 metres. The 500 MHz bandwidth handles high data throughput. Because it is shielded, it reduces electromagnetic interference. This is vital for runs near power cables or in busy cabinet environments. However, confirm your switch and NIC support 10GbE to realise full speed.

LSZH Jacket for Safer Installations

The LSZH jacket is specified to minimise toxic smoke during a fire. This is critical for concealed runs in risers and ceiling voids. In practice, it helps meet building safety standards in UK offices. Also, the cable is flexible for easier pulls through conduit. However, confirm local fire regulations for your specific site.

SFTP Shielding for Noise Rejection

The cable features SFTP construction. This includes both foil and braid shielding. It protects against crosstalk and external EMI. So, data integrity is maintained in electrically noisy areas. For example, use this near industrial equipment or power distribution. Verify connector compatibility with your patch panels and wall plates.

Connector and Build Quality

The connectors are typically RJ45 with 50-micron gold plating. This ensures reliable contact and corrosion resistance. The snagless boot design helps prevent latch damage during pulls. Also, the conductor gauge is specified for CAT6A performance. However, confirm the exact connector type if you need shielded keystone compatibility.
