Patch-cord Alantec S/FTP Category 6A LSOH cable, 10.0 m, gray

Alantec S/FTP Category 6A LSOH patch-cord, 10.0 m, gray is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for high-performance network links. The S/FTP construction provides an overall braid shield plus individually foil-shielded pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The cable meets Category 6A requirements for 10GBASE-T applications and is fitted with a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSOH) outer jacket that minimizes toxic fume and corrosive gas emission in the event of fire. At 10.0 m length, this patch-cord is suitable for horizontal and rack-to-rack connections where reliable signal integrity and improved shielding are needed.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding topology improves immunity to external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk, supporting stable 10 Gigabit performance over short link lengths. The LSOH jacket reduces smoke density and harmful gases compared with standard PVC, which is beneficial in enclosed or public spaces. Precision-paired conductors and manufacturing to Category 6A performance limits help maintain signal quality and reduce error rates in demanding network environments.

Suitable for

• 10GBASE-T connections in data centers and server rooms
• Office LAN horizontal and patch panel cabling
• Rack-to-rack and switch-to-switch interconnects
• Environments requiring reduced smoke and halogen-free materials

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 6A (Class EA)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Jacket material: LSOH (low smoke, zero halogen)
• Length: 10.0 m
• Color: gray
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated (8P8C)
• Designed bandwidth: up to 500 MHz, suitable for 10GBASE-T

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plug at each end to the corresponding network ports on switches, servers or patch panels. Ensure that both ends are fully inserted and that connector latches engage to maintain a reliable mechanical and electrical connection. Avoid tight bends and kinks near the connectors; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for Category 6A cables. Route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible, and use appropriate cable management to prevent physical strain on the terminations.

Usage recommendations

For optimum performance, use this Alantec S/FTP Category 6A patch-cord for link segments within data center rows or between adjacent racks where 10G throughput and reduced EMI are required. Do not exceed the channel length recommendations for 10GBASE-T when combining patch-cords with permanent links. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace any cable with visible jacket cuts or exposed shielding.
