Why choose it

The S/FTP shielding provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring stable 10G performance even in electrically noisy environments. The LSZH jacket emits low smoke and no toxic halogens in case of fire, making it suitable for public buildings and confined spaces. The red colour allows for easy identification and organization of network segments.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting servers to patch panels in data centers
• Long-distance runs in enterprise networks
• High-speed backbone links between switches
• Professional AV and broadcast installations
• Industrial Ethernet applications requiring robust cabling

Good to know

The cable is constructed with stranded copper conductors for flexibility, making it easier to route through cable management systems. It is backward compatible with existing Cat.6, Cat.5e, and Cat.5 networks, providing a future-proof upgrade path. The snagless connector design protects the locking tab during installation and removal.
