5m Cat6 Ethernet Cable Blue U/UTP LSOH 24AWG Snagless
Cat6 is rated to 250MHz, giving Gigabit Ethernet plenty of headroom and supporting 10 Gigabit over shorter runs of up to 55m. The four twisted pairs are unshielded (U/UTP), the usual choice for homes and offices where electrical interference is low.
The LSOH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket gives off little smoke and no toxic halogen gas if it catches fire, which is why it is often specified for offices, schools, hospitals and other public buildings. Snagless boots cover the RJ45 latch so it will not catch on other cables or snap off when the lead is pulled through a busy patch panel. 24 AWG conductors keep resistance low, which helps on longer leads and when powering PoE devices.
Power over Ethernet: this lead supports PoE, PoE+ and PoE++ (IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt), so one cable carries both data and power from a PoE switch or injector to devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, video doorbells and PoE lighting. PoE++ delivers up to 60W (Type 3) or 90W (Type 4) from the switch, enough for PTZ cameras, multi-radio access points and thin clients.
At 5m it reaches comfortably across a desk or room, for example from a router to a TV, games console or computer. The blue jacket makes this lead easy to pick out in a cabinet or behind a desk.
