Slim Specs Table

Certified 10G Performance

This cable supports error-free Multi-Gigabit speeds up to 10GBase-T. It is ETL verified to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards. Each cord is tested with a Fluke® DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer. This ensures minimal crosstalk and return loss. You get consistent signal integrity over the full 3-metre run.

LSZH Safety for UK Buildings

The jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen. It produces minimal toxic fumes during a fire. This improves visibility for safer evacuation. It is a PVC-free solution. This makes it suitable for risers and crowded conduits in commercial buildings.

Full 100W PoE Support

This cable handles 100W continuous power throughput. It complies with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4. The 24AWG pure copper conductors minimise resistance. They ensure efficient power delivery to PoE devices. This supports high-power gear like IP cameras and VoIP phones.

Snagless Design & Durability

The snagless boot protects the RJ45 clip during installation. This prevents snagging in cable trays or raceways. Gold-plated connectors ensure reliable contact. The 40 mm bend radius offers strain relief. It maintains flexibility without kinking.

Engineered for Low Crosstalk

The cable uses a spline separator. This reduces inter-pair crosstalk. It also improves heat dissipation during heavy PoE use. The HD-PE insulation cuts intra-pair interference. This maintains signal quality across the 650 MHz bandwidth.
