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

Alantec S/FTP Cat.6A LSOH patch-cord, 0.5 m in green, is a short, shielded network cable engineered for high-speed Ethernet links. Its S/FTP construction (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs) supports Category 6A performance, reducing electromagnetic interference and maintaining signal integrity across short connections. The LSOH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket minimizes smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire, making the cable suitable for indoor commercial and residential environments where safety and cable density matter.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP shielding provides improved immunity to external noise and cross-talk compared with unshielded alternatives, helping to preserve throughput and latency in congested cabling environments. Its Cat.6A-rated design supports higher frequencies and data rates typically required for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances. The compact 0.5 m length is convenient for tidy patching between adjacent ports, while the green jacket enables easy visual identification and organized cable management. The LSOH outer sheath limits harmful emissions, aligning with building safety requirements.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, routers and patch panels in data closets and racks
• Connecting network devices in office workstations and meeting rooms
• Short-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and high-speed LAN segments
• Installations requiring low-smoke, low-toxicity cabling such as public buildings and residential areas

Key specifications

• Conductor and shielding: S/FTP (overall braided shield with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Category performance: Category 6A
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket material: LSOH (low smoke, zero halogen)
• Color: green
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated on both ends (8P8C)

How to use

Use the patch-cord to connect adjacent ports on switches, patch panels, or other network equipment where a short, high-performance link is required. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched into RJ45 ports to maintain reliable electrical contact. Route the cable without sharp bends or kinks and avoid placing it under heavy compression to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. For structured cabling, match the cable color to your labeling scheme to simplify identification.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid bundling shielded patch-cords with high-power electrical lines and keep cable bend radius above manufacturer-recommended limits. Use in environments that benefit from LSOH materials when reduced smoke and toxicity are desired. Verify compatibility with shielded equipment or grounded patch panels to maintain the effectiveness of the S/FTP shielding.
