Slim Specs Table

Fast Ethernet Performance for Daily Use

This cable supports 10/100Base-T(X) networks. It runs at 100 MHz for stable data flow. In practice, it suits browsing, printing, and VoIP calls. It is not designed for Gigabit speeds. If you need 1 Gbit/s, confirm you require Cat5e or higher.

Stranded Conductors for Flexibility

The stranded copper design resists breakage from frequent bends. So, it works well in tight racks or behind desks. The 24AWG size balances durability and signal quality. However, it is not shielded against heavy EMI. For industrial zones, verify if a shielded cable is needed.

Flush Moulded Boots Reduce Snagging

The snagless boots protect the locking tab during removal. This helps when unplugging from crowded patch panels. Because the boots are flush, they save space. Also, the grey PVC jacket blends with most UK office setups. Confirm the colour matches your rack if aesthetics matter.

Gold-Plated Contacts for Reliable Connections

The RJ45 connectors feature gold plating on contacts. This resists corrosion and maintains good conductivity. So, you get a stable link over time. Note that the cable itself has no shielding. For environments with high interference, check if U/UTP is suitable.

RoHS and REACH Compliance

This cable meets RoHS and REACH standards. It follows IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u networking norms. However, UKCA or CE marking is not specified here. Please confirm compliance with local regulations before purchase. The jacket is PVC, which is common for indoor use.
