Slim Specs Table

10GbE Performance with EMI Protection

The cable supports 10GBase-T at 500 MHz. S/FTP shielding protects against EMI and RFI. This matters in UK racks with dense power and data runs. You get stable signal integrity over short patch distances.

100 W PoE++ Power Delivery

It complies with IEEE 802.3bt-2018 for 100 W PoE++. This powers Type 4 devices like advanced APs and cameras. Because the conductor is copper, power loss stays low. Confirm your switch supports PoE++ before purchase.

LSZH Safety for UK Buildings

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket limits corrosive fumes. In a fire, visibility improves for evacuations. This suits offices, schools, and public sites with strict fire safety policies. It is more eco-friendly than standard PVC jackets.

Snagless Boots with Strain Relief

Snagless moulded boots protect the RJ-45 latch during routing. Integrated strain relief reduces sharp bend angles at the connector. This helps prevent premature failure in high-traffic patch panels. It also speeds up installation time.

ETL Verified to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D

The cable is ETL Verified to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D. Independent tests confirm insertion loss, return loss, and crosstalk limits. The STP shielding is verified for EMI resistance. This supports reliable 10G runs in demanding UK environments.

Plug and Play Compatibility

The cable is plug and play with RJ-45 ports. It supports Multi-Gigabit speeds including 1/2.5/5/10 Gbps. No configuration is required. Always confirm device compatibility and auto-negotiation settings in your network.
