Slim Specs Table

10GbE Performance with S/FTP Shielding

This cable supports 10GBase-T at 500 MHz. The S/FTP construction shields each pair and the overall jacket. In practice, this reduces crosstalk and EMI. It maintains stable signal quality over the full 3 m length. You can run 10GbE links in electrically noisy environments.

100W PoE++ for High-Power Devices

The cable meets IEEE 802.3bt-2018 for PoE++. It supports 100 W total budget for Type 4 devices. Because it uses stranded copper conductors, it handles higher current safely. You can power APs, cameras, or displays without an extra power lead. This simplifies cable management and reduces clutter.

LSZH Jacket for Safer Installations

The LSZH jacket produces low smoke and no halogen fumes during a fire. This improves visibility and safety during evacuation. Because the cable is round and flexible, it routes cleanly in trays and conduits. So it suits offices, schools, and public buildings where safety rules matter.

Snagless Boots with Strain Relief

Each RJ-45 connector has a snagless boot. It protects the latch from catching on cable bundles. The integrated strain relief prevents sharp bends at the termination. This reduces conductor fatigue and extends service life. It also speeds up installation in tight racks.

ETL Verified to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D

The cable is ETL Verified to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D. Independent testing confirms insertion loss, return loss, and crosstalk limits. The STP shielding is verified for EMI resistance. This provides confidence for high-speed 10G links. However, you must confirm compatibility with your patch panels and switches.
