  250MHz bandwidth for increased signal capacity
  100W PoE support for powering high-draw devices
  24AWG stranded copper for improved flexibility
  LSZH jacket reduces smoke and corrosive fumes

Applications

• Used with switches and network Interface cards in racks
  Suitable for PoE laptops and IP cameras requiring 100W
  Ideal for connecting NAS and server arrays
  Can be used for VoIP phones and desktop workstations
  Used in installations requiring PVC-free cabling

What is the cable jacket material and why is it chosen?

The jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) to limit toxic fumes and white smoke during fire events.

How does the connector protect against physical damage during installation?

The snagless boot prevents clip snagging and the moulded strain relief offers a 40mm bend radius to reduce stress.

What construction ensures low crosstalk and heat dissipation for PoE?

The cable uses spline separation and HD-PE insulation to reduce inter-pair crosstalk and improve thermal performance for sustained power delivery.

What testing and verification support its performance claims?

Each cable undergoes individual Fluke DSX2-8000 testing and is ETL verified to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 limits.
