Patch-cord Alantec S/FTP Cat6A LSOH 0.25 m yellow

Alantec S/FTP Cat6A patch-cord with LSOH jacket, 0.25 m in yellow, is designed for short high-speed Ethernet interconnections in racks, switches and patch panels. The cable features individually shielded twisted pairs plus overall foil shielding to reduce crosstalk and preserve signal integrity in dense structured cabling installations. The low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSOH) outer sheath minimizes hazardous emissions in confined spaces, making the cable appropriate for commercial and data-center environments where fire-safety standards are important.

Advantages

The S/FTP design provides pair-by-pair shielding and an overall foil that together reduce electromagnetic interference and near-end crosstalk, improving performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications. The short 0.25 m length is suitable for tidy rack-side patching and minimizes excess cable management. The yellow LSOH jacket offers visual identification while meeting low-smoke and zero-halogen safety requirements.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches and patch panels within racks
• Short interconnects in data centers and server rooms
• High-speed 10GbE links where shielded cabling is required
• Environments requiring LSOH materials for reduced smoke and halogen emissions

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP — individually shielded pairs with overall foil
• Jacket material: Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSOH)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connector type: RJ45 (eight-position modular connectors)
• Color: Yellow
• Suitable bandwidth: up to 500 MHz (Cat6A specification)

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network port of a switch, patch panel or network device and the other end to the corresponding port. Use the 0.25 m length for close-proximity connections to avoid cable clutter; route the cable along cabinet guides or through cable managers to maintain airflow and accessibility. Ensure connectors are fully seated and locks engage to prevent accidental disconnection.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Alantec Cat6A S/FTP patch-cord in shielded infrastructure or bonded equipment where the shield continuity is maintained. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension near the connectors; keep bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter. Verify grounding or bonding practices in your rack or cabinet when deploying shielded patch cords to ensure EMI protection is effective.
