It is ideal for servers, NAS, and IP cameras.

Slim Technical Specifications

Certified 10GbE Performance

This cable supports error-free Multi Gigabit connections. It handles 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and 10Gbps speeds. The 650MHz bandwidth handles high data throughput. It uses U/UTP construction to minimise crosstalk. Because it is ETL verified, you get consistent signal integrity. This ensures stable performance for demanding UK networks.

High-Power PoE Support

You can power devices directly through the Ethernet cable. This cable handles 100W continuous power throughput. It complies with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 standards. The spline separator improves heat dissipation during heavy load. So, it reliably powers laptops, IP TVs, and security cameras. It uses pure copper, unlike cheaper CCA alternatives.

LSZH Safety and Build Quality

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket is PVC-free. In a fire, it produces minimal toxic corrosive fumes. This offers higher visibility for safer evacuation. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 clip during installation. It prevents snagging when pulling through conduits. The 24AWG conductors offer flexibility and strength.

Professional Installation Features

The cable features a 6mm outer diameter for easy routing. It offers a 100mm bend radius for strain relief. The gold-plated connectors ensure corrosion-free contact. Because it is plug-and-play, setup is immediate. No configuration is required for standard network switches. The grey colour helps identify connections in server racks.
