Why choose it

Engineered for high-density environments, this cable combines robust S/FTP shielding to minimise alien crosstalk and EMI, ensuring stable 10 Gigabit Ethernet over its full 20-meter length. The LSOH jacket emits very low smoke and no toxic halogens when exposed to fire, making it ideal for public buildings, data centres, and any area where safety regulations demand halogen-free cabling. Stranded bare copper conductors provide flexibility for easy installation without sacrificing performance.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting servers to switches in data centres
• Horizontal runs in office LANs
• Home networks requiring high-speed, fire-safe cabling
• Industrial environments with electromagnetic interference
• Public buildings with strict fire safety codes

Good to know

The cable is compliant with IEC fire safety standards for LSOH materials, ensuring low smoke emission and absence of corrosive gases. It is halogen-free and flame retardant, contributing to a safer installation. The black colour blends discreetly into most environments, and the 20-meter length offers flexibility for various layouts.
