Slim Technical Metrics

Certified 10G Performance

This cable is ETL verified to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards. It supports Multi Gigabit connections up to 10GBase-T. StarTech.com tests every unit with a Fluke® DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer™. This ensures minimal Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and return loss. You get consistent signal integrity for critical data transfers.

Reliable 100W PoE Power

The cable handles 100W continuous power throughput. It complies with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 standards. Because it uses 100% bare copper, it dissipates heat effectively. This is vital for powering PoE laptops, IP cameras, or VoIP phones. Unlike CCA cables, pure copper prevents overheating under load.

LSZH Safety for UK Buildings

The jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen. In a fire, it produces minimal toxic fumes and obscuring smoke. This improves visibility for evacuation in offices or data closets. It is a PVC-free solution. This makes it suitable for installations where strict fire safety regulations apply.

Snagless Design & Durability

The snagless boot protects the RJ45 clip during installation. You can pull this cable through conduits or raceways without catching. The 24AWG stranded wire offers flexibility. Gold-plated contacts ensure a reliable connection. The 2m length is ideal for close rack-to-device patching.
