Why an LSZH jacket matters
Standard PVC-jacketed cables release dense smoke and toxic halogen gases when exposed to fire — a real risk in enclosed spaces like server rooms, plenums, and commercial buildings.
This cable's LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket is designed for safer installations, minimizing smoke output and eliminating toxic halogen emissions in the event of fire — making it a smart choice for schools, hospitals, offices, and any building where fire safety compliance matters.
Why 23AWG bare copper matters
Most budget patch cords use CCA (Copper-Clad Aluminium) conductors or thinner wire gauges. These cut costs but come at a price — higher resistance, weaker signal stability, and reduced reliability in long-term installs.
| Cable Type | Performance |
|---|---|
| 26AWG / 28AWG | ❌ Higher loss, unstable |
| CCA Cable | ❌ Weak conductivity |
| 23AWG Full Copper (this cable) | ✅ Maximum performance |

Frequently asked questions
Is this cable really bare copper and not CCA?
Yes. This patch cord uses solid 23AWG pure bare copper conductors throughout — not Copper-Clad Aluminium (CCA), which is common in cheaper cables but performs worse for conductivity and long-term reliability.
What does "Fluke Tested" mean?
It means this cable design was verified using a Fluke certification tester — the industry-standard tool for confirming that cabling meets its rated CAT6A performance (attenuation, crosstalk, return loss, etc.) rather than relying on the printed spec alone.
Why choose an LSZH jacket over standard PVC?
LSZH releases far less smoke and no toxic halogen gases if it ever burns, compared to standard PVC. It's the preferred choice for schools, hospitals, offices, and any enclosed space where fire safety compliance is a priority.
Is this cable shielded?
This is a UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable, well suited to typical office, home, and CCTV installs. For environments with heavy EMI/RFI, a shielded S/FTP cable is a better fit.
Does it come with connectors already attached?
Yes. Every cord ships factory-terminated with RJ45 male-to-male connectors on both ends — no crimping or tools needed, just plug it in.
