Patch-cord Alantec S/FTP Cat.6A LSOH 0.5 m blue

The Alantec S/FTP Cat.6A patch-cord, 0.5 m in length with an LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket in blue, is designed for short-distance connections in high-performance network environments. Its shielded S/FTP construction (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs) reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and other high-speed data applications. The compact 0.5 m form factor is ideal for patching inside racks, connecting adjacent equipment, and keeping cable runs tidy in data cabinets and workstations.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP design provides enhanced protection against external noise, improving signal integrity for demanding network deployments. The LSOH jacket minimizes harmful smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire, making the cable suitable for use in populated or enclosed spaces. The short length reduces excess cable slack, simplifies cable management, and helps maintain airflow and accessibility in server racks and networking enclosures.

Suitable for

• Patching in server racks and telecom cabinets
• Connecting network equipment in tight or adjacent positions
• Short links between switches, patch panels, and routers
• Environments where low smoke and halogen-free materials are preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A, suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braided shield with individually foil-shielded pairs
• Length: 0.5 m (short patch-cord for close connections)
• Jacket material: LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Color: Blue
• Connector type: Compatible with standard RJ45 ports

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices such as switches, patch panels, routers, or servers until the connector latches securely. Use the 0.5 m patch-cord to create short, direct links between adjacent equipment or from a device to a nearby patch panel. Avoid sharp bends near the connector boots and do not exceed the recommended bend radius to preserve shielding and performance. For installations in racks, route the cable along existing cable management paths to prevent stress on connectors and to maintain airflow.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat.6A S/FTP patch-cord for short connections where 10 Gigabit bandwidth and improved EMI protection are required. Pair with properly shielded infrastructure components and ensure correct grounding of shielding at patch panels or equipment to maximize interference rejection. Replace any cable showing visible damage to the jacket or connectors.
