Slim 28AWG Design for Better Airflow

This cable is 36% thinner than standard Cat6. It improves airflow in tight racks. The reduced diameter allows easier routing. It also lowers clutter in patch panels. This design helps maintain cooler operating temperatures.

100W PoE++ Power Delivery

It supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ standards. This allows up to 100W power delivery. You can power switches or cameras directly. The pure bare copper conductor ensures low resistance. This supports stable power over long distances.

LSZH Jacket for Safer Installations

The jacket uses Low Smoke Zero Halogen material. It emits minimal toxic fumes if exposed to heat. This is ideal for trains, aircraft, or offices. It meets strict building code requirements. The outer diameter is 3.6 mm.

Individually Tested for Signal Integrity

Each cable is Fluke® tested. It meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 specs. This ensures low near-end crosstalk. It also minimises return loss. You get consistent Gigabit connectivity.

Snagless Connectors for Durability

The snagless boot protects RJ45 clips. It prevents breakage during installation. Gold-plated contacts ensure a precise fit. This reduces signal loss over time. The cable is plug and play.
