Slim Specs Table

2000MHz Throughput for 25/40GBASE-T Networks

This cable supports a 2000 MHz maximum frequency. It enables up to four times higher throughput than Cat6a. Because it uses 40GBase-T technology, it handles demanding data loads. This is ideal for high-speed switches and storage arrays.

S/FTP Shielding for EMI Protection

The S/FTP construction shields each pair with foil and braid. This design minimises electromagnetic interference. So, it maintains signal quality in electrically noisy environments. It suits industrial settings and dense server racks.

PoE++ Power Delivery

It supports PoE++ (4PPoE) with a 100W budget. This powers devices like access points and IP cameras directly. You can combine data and power over a single cable. It reduces cable clutter in your installation.

LSZH Jacket for Safer Installations

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket emits minimal toxic fumes. It is suitable for confined or poorly ventilated areas. This includes trains, aircraft, and residential buildings. Always confirm local building code compliance for your site.

Durable RJ45 Connectors

The snagless boots protect the RJ45 tabs during installation. Gold-plated contacts ensure a precise fit. They are rated beyond 750 mating cycles. This reduces wear and maintains a reliable connection.

Backward Compatibility

The cable is backward compatible with Cat 6/6a and Cat 5/5e standards. This allows seamless integration into existing networks. You can upgrade specific links without replacing your entire infrastructure.
