Key Specifications

Reliable Fast Ethernet Performance

This cable supports 10/100Base-T(X) networking standards. It operates at 100 MHz for consistent data flow. In practice, it connects routers, switches, and patch panels. The U/UTP shielding suits typical office environments. However, it is not shielded against heavy electromagnetic interference. So, verify your environment before purchase.

Durable Construction for Daily Use

The molded flush boot protects the RJ-45 connector from snagging. Stranded 24AWG conductors offer flexibility during installation. Also, the PVC jacket resists everyday wear. Gold-plated contacts help maintain a clean signal. This design suits frequent plug and unplug cycles. The cable is not specified as UL-rated; confirm compliance if required.

Easy Installation and Management

Plug and Play functionality enables quick setup. The 2-metre length suits desk-to-wall runs. Because the connectors are male RJ-45, they fit standard ports. The grey colour helps with basic cable identification. Note that connector shielding is not specified; verify if your setup needs it. UK buyers should confirm local certification needs, such as UKCA or CE marking.
