Slim Specs

10GbE Performance with S/FTP Shielding

This cable supports 10GBase-T networking. The S/FTP (S-STP) shielding protects against electromagnetic interference. This ensures stable signal integrity in busy environments. It meets the ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standard. ETL verification confirms performance for high-speed applications. This reduces packet loss over the 0.5m run.

LSZH Safety for UK Buildings

The jacket uses Low Smoke Zero Halogen material. In a fire, LSZH produces minimal smoke and no halogen. This improves visibility for safe evacuation. It is a safer choice than standard PVC for UK commercial buildings. Always confirm local fire safety regulations for your specific installation.

100W PoE++ Power Delivery

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. The stranded copper conductors handle the current efficiently. Verify your switch and device support PoE++ before purchase.

Snagless Design with Strain Relief

The connectors feature snagless boots. These protect the RJ-45 latch during installation. This prevents damage when pulling cables through cable management. Integrated strain reliefs reduce stress at the connector junction. This improves long-term reliability in patch panels.

Plug and Play Connectivity

The cable is plug and play. It connects standard RJ-45 ports without configuration. The Aqua colour simplifies network tracing. This saves time during audits or troubleshooting. The 0.5m length is ideal for rack-to-device connections.
