Quick spec callouts & compatibility guidance

Choose UTP for general horizontal runs in low-interference areas. Select FTP (foil shield) where EMI or adjacent noisy equipment may affect signals. Use Cat6 for gigabit networks and Cat6A for 10G over longer runs - check cable diameter and bend radius if working inside conduits or with pre-terminated assemblies.

If you need help matching cable to switches, PoE requirements, or outdoor-rated runs, our team can advise on pair-count, shielding type and required accessories. Compare Specs between options to ensure you choose the right balance of flexibility and future-proofing.

Accessories, testing and installation bundles

A complete install includes more than cable. Pick from pre-terminated patch leads, bulk drum cable, RJ45 boots, keystone jacks, patch panels and certified cable testers. We assemble accessory bundles tailored for schools, labs and small-data rooms so technicians and students have exactly what they need on site.

Specification examples and installation notes

When planning runs, note these practical checks: cable diameter vs conduit fill, recommended bend radius (usually 4x cable diameter), and whether foil shielding requires proper earthing at the switch end. If you are unsure, Request a Quote and include run lengths, environment and whether you need pre-terminated leads.
