Slim Specs

Fast Ethernet Performance for Daily Use

This cable supports 10/100Base-T(X) networking standards. It delivers a reliable 100 Mbit/s data transfer rate for typical office tasks. Because it operates at 100 MHz, it handles standard web traffic and file sharing well. However, it is not rated for Gigabit speeds. In practice, it is ideal for connecting printers, PCs, and IP phones.

Durable, Flush-Moulded Design

The flush-moulded connector boots reduce snagging when pulled through trunking or cable trays. This design protects the RJ45 latch from accidental damage during installation. Also, the 24 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility for tight routing. So, it suits environments where cables are frequently repositioned. The white PVC jacket provides a clean, professional look.

Gold-Plated Connectivity

Gold plating on the connector contacts helps maintain a stable signal. It resists corrosion, which is important for long-term reliability in UK humidity. The U/UTP (unshielded) construction is standard for short patch leads. However, if you run cables near mains power, verify that interference is not an issue. This cable meets RoHS and REACH compliance certificates.

Plug-and-Play Installation

This cable is plug and play, requiring no configuration. It connects devices with standard RJ45 ports instantly. Because it is white, it blends well with most office décor. Also, the 5 m length offers flexibility for desk placement. In practice, check your exact port layout before ordering.
