Patch-cord Alantec Category 6A S/FTP, purple, 3 m, LSOH (KKS6AFIO3.0)

Alantec Category 6A S/FTP patch-cord, 3 m length, purple, with LSOH jacket is a high-performance patch cable designed for Cat6A Ethernet and data networks. The cable features individually foil-shielded pairs plus an overall braided shield (S/FTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and a low-smoke, halogen-free (LSOH) outer jacket for safer use in enclosed or public spaces. With a 3 m length and standard RJ45 terminations, this patch-cord is suitable for connecting patch panels, switches and network devices in office, server room and structured cabling environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding construction provides enhanced protection against EMI and alien crosstalk, helping maintain signal integrity at multigigabit speeds typical for Cat6A deployments. The LSOH jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emissions in case of fire, making the cable appropriate for installations where safety and building regulations are a concern. The 3 m length and molded connectors offer a balance of flexibility and strain relief for rack- or desk-mounted equipment, and the purple color enables simple visual identification of network segments or service types.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links up to Cat6A performance in office and data center networks
• Connections between patch panels, switches and servers in structured cabling systems
• Environments requiring reduced smoke and halogen emissions, such as public buildings and server rooms
• Runs where improved EMI protection is needed, for example near electrical equipment or dense cabling

• Shielding: S/FTP — foil around each pair with overall braided shield
• Length: 3 meters
• Jacket material: LSOH (low-smoke, halogen-free)
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated, molded strain relief
• Color: Purple
• Supported performance: Suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to Cat6A limits

How to use

Verify that the patch-cord length and connector type match the intended ports on switches, patch panels or network devices. Insert the RJ45 plug firmly into the device jack until it latches. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; use cable management solutions such as horizontal managers or Velcro ties to maintain orderly runs and prevent damage to the jacket or connectors. For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and maintain recommended bend radius for Cat6A cabling.

Usage recommendations

Use this Alantec Cat6A S/FTP LSOH patch-cord for short interconnects in structured cabling where EMI mitigation and low-smoke, halogen-free materials are required. Inspect connectors periodically for wear and replace the cable if the jacket or plug is damaged to ensure continued signal integrity.
