Patch-cord Alantec S/FTP Category 6A LSOH 2.0 m green

Alantec S/FTP Category 6A patch-cord with a 2.0 m length and LSOH (low smoke, halogen-free) jacket in green is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for high-speed network connections. The cable supports Category 6A performance, providing improved noise rejection and reduced alien crosstalk compared with lower category patch leads. Its S/FTP construction offers overall shielding plus individual foil shields for each twisted pair, enhancing immunity to electromagnetic interference in dense cabling environments.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP design combined with Category 6A specification ensures stable gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over short to medium distances. The LSOH outer jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire, making the cable suitable for use in enclosed spaces such as data centers, offices and equipment rooms. The 2.0 m length and factory-terminated connectors provide a ready-to-use, tidy connection between network devices, patch panels and switches. The green jacket aids visual identification and cable management in racks and patch fields.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server cabinets
• Office workstations and network closets
• High-speed Ethernet connections up to Cat6A (10 Gigabit)
• Structured cabling and patch panels
• Installations requiring low-smoke, halogen-free materials

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 6A (Cat6A)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid or foil plus individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Jacket material: LSOH (Low Smoke, Zero Halogen)
• Length: 2.0 m
• Color: Green
• Performance: Designed for up to 10 Gbps Ethernet over specified distances
• Connector type: Standard RJ45 terminated ends (factory-terminated)

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (switch, router, NIC) and the other into the target port such as a patch panel or workstation outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated and locking tabs engage to prevent accidental disconnection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, sharp edges and sources of strong electromagnetic fields; maintain proper bend radius as recommended for Category 6A cabling. For permanent structured cabling, use this patch-cord only for horizontal or equipment connections where factory-terminated leads are appropriate.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the patch-cord in parallel with high-voltage power cables and keep cable lengths within recommended limits for Cat6A channels. Use labeled or color-coded cables when managing multiple runs to simplify identification. Inspect connectors periodically for damage and replace the patch-cord if the jacket or connector shows signs of wear.
