Patch Cable ACT Yellow 0.5m LSZH SFTP CAT6A RJ45

The ACT Yellow 0.5m LSZH SFTP CAT6A RJ45 patch cable is a short, high-performance network cable designed for reliable data transmission in compact setups. Its CAT6A specification supports high-speed Ethernet applications while S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference from adjacent cables and devices. The low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) outer jacket lowers emission of toxic gases in case of fire, making this cable suitable for use in confined or poorly ventilated spaces where safety requirements favour reduced smoke and toxicity.

Advantages

This patch cable combines CAT6A bandwidth capabilities with S/FTP shielding to provide stable signal integrity for demanding network environments. The 0.5 m length is convenient for short patching between switches, patch panels and nearby devices without excess cable clutter. The RJ45 connectors are fitted to ensure consistent contact and performance. The LSZH jacket offers improved safety characteristics by minimizing smoke and halogen emissions in the event of fire, and the cable meets CPR Euroclass Eca for basic reaction-to-fire performance.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between network switches, routers and patch panels
• Datacenter or telecom racks with dense cabling where minimal slack is preferred
• Office workstations and meeting room equipment with nearby ports
• Environments requiring low-smoke, low-toxicity materials such as public transport or enclosed spaces

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A — supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over suitable infrastructure
• Length: 0.5 meters
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil around each pair plus overall braid) for reduced EMI
• Connector: RJ45 connectors on both ends
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) for reduced toxic emissions
• Colour: Yellow
• Reaction-to-fire classification: CPR Euroclass Eca

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to the network port of a switch, patch panel or network device and the other end to the target device or port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Route the cable without tight bends or kinks—maintain gentle curves to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. For best performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with mains power cables over long distances to reduce potential interference.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.5 m CAT6A S/FTP LSZH patch cable for short, high-speed links where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required. Select the yellow colour to maintain consistent cabling colour-coding schemes. For optimal network throughput, pair the cable with CAT6A-capable devices and maintain proper connector seating and strain-relief practices.
