Slim Technical Specifications

Error-Free 10 Gigabit Performance

This cable supports Multi-Gigabit speeds up to 10 Gbps within the 55-metre limit. It handles 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, and 5Gbps connections seamlessly. The 650 MHz bandwidth ensures stable data transfer for demanding applications. Because it uses solid copper, you avoid the signal loss common with CCA alternatives.

Certified Safety with LSZH Jacketing

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket reduces toxic fumes during a fire. This improves visibility and safety during evacuation in commercial buildings. The cable is PVC-free, making it a suitable choice for UK workplaces with strict fire safety regulations. It also resists corrosion from moisture over time.

Reliable 100W PoE Power Delivery

This cable is tested for continuous 100W power throughput. It complies with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 standards for high-power devices. You can reliably power laptops, IP cameras, and VoIP phones over the single Ethernet cable. The spline separator aids heat dissipation during prolonged high-power use.

Professional Construction and Installation

The snagless boot protects the RJ45 clip during pulls through conduits or cable trays. A 40 mm bend radius offers strong strain relief without sacrificing flexibility. The 24 AWG copper wire ensures consistent electrical performance. Also, the 6 mm outer diameter fits standard patch panels neatly.
