GenSPEED® LP Listed Cables

Choosing the right cable is crucial for high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. It’s essential to ensure that your cabling infrastructure can support the increased power levels of the 802.3bt standard. Several factors can influence a cable’s ability to manage heat generated by high-power PoE, including the copper gauge size, cable design, bundle size, and the installation environment.​

GenSPEED® is a leading industry solution that has received UL's Listing for Power (LP) certification. This certification confirms that GenSPEED® can operate at power levels exceeding 100 watts without surpassing the cable's temperature rating. An LP rating guarantees that the cable can effectively handle heat, regardless of bundle size or installation conditions.​
