Slim Specifications

40Gbps Throughput with Low Latency

This cable supports 2000MHz maximum frequency. It delivers up to four times higher throughput than Cat6a. In practice, this facilitates stable 25G/40GBase-T performance for critical tasks. You can connect switches, NAS, or SANs with confidence.

S/FTP Shielding for EMI Protection

The S/FTP construction uses foil and tinned copper braid around each pair. This design reduces electromagnetic interference significantly. So, it maintains signal integrity in electrically noisy UK environments. It is ideal for industrial settings or dense server racks.

Pure Bare Copper for Consistent Conductivity

The conductors are 26AWG pure bare copper. This material offers low resistance and improved conductivity compared to CCA. Because of this, you get reliable transmission over the full 15-metre run. It ensures minimal signal loss across your network.

LSZH Jacket for Safer Installations

The jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). It emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes if exposed to extreme heat. This feature supports safer compliance in poorly ventilated areas. It suits trains, aircraft, and strict building code environments.

Durable Snagless RJ45 Connectors

The connectors feature 50-micro gold plating and snagless boots. They are rated beyond 750 mating cycles to minimise wear. Also, the strain reliefs protect against bending damage. The cable handles -/+90-degree bends for tight routing.

PoE++ Support for Powered Devices

This patch cord supports PoE++ (4PPoE) up to 100W. It powers devices like IP cameras and access points directly. Because it meets IEEE 802.3ba standards, it integrates with high-density networks. This reduces the need for separate power cables.
