Slim Specs Table

10GbE Performance with EMI Protection

This cable supports 10GBase-T networking. The S/FTP shielding protects against electromagnetic interference. It also reduces crosstalk and noise. This ensures stable signal transmission over the full 10-metre run. In practice, it is suited for busy office environments.

You get consistent performance for data-heavy tasks. The 500 MHz frequency rating supports high bandwidth. However, you must verify your switch supports 10GbE.

Safe LSZH Construction for Buildings

The jacket uses Low Smoke Zero Halogen material. This is more eco-friendly than standard PVC. In a fire, it produces minimal smoke and no corrosive halogens. This improves visibility for safe evacuations. It is a practical choice for public and commercial spaces.

Always confirm local building regulations for cable types. This LSZH design meets specific safety profiles. It is not specified for outdoor use.

100W PoE++ for High-Power Devices

This cable supports IEEE 802.3bt-2018 PoE++. It delivers up to 100W to Type 4 devices. This powers high-draw equipment like PTZ cameras or digital signage. You can simplify installs by combining data and power.

Verify your source device supports PoE++. The cable is ready for PoE++ switches. It is not specified for non-PoE applications.

Snagless RJ-45 with Strain Relief

The connectors feature snagless boots. These protect the latch during routing. This prevents damage in tight cable trays. Integrated strain reliefs reduce stress at the termination points.

The connectors are straight RJ-45 male to male. This is a standard patch cord design. It is plug-and-play for compatible ports.

Certified for ANSI/TIA Standards

The cable is ETL Verified. It meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards. Independent testing confirms strict insertion loss and crosstalk limits. This verification ensures reliable 10GbE performance.

Compliance certificates include CE and RoHS. Sustainability compliance is noted. It is not specified if UKCA marking is applied; verify this for UK sites.
