Patch-cord S/FTP Category 6A LSOH 0.5 m, Alantec KKS6AZOL0.5, yellow

Alantec patch-cord S/FTP Category 6A LSOH 0.5 m in yellow is a shielded network cable designed for short connections in local area networks and data center patching. The cable features individually foiled pairs plus an overall braid shield (S/FTP) and a low-smoke, zero-halogen jacket for installations where reduced smoke and toxic emissions are required. It supports high-speed transmission up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet and is terminated with RJ45 connectors suitable for standard Ethernet ports.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction reduces near-end crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity in dense cabling environments. The Category 6A specification ensures bandwidth and performance needed for 10 Gbps links over short distances. The LSOH jacket lowers the risk from smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire and is suitable for public and commercial buildings. The compact 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable in patch panels and workstations, while the yellow color provides clear visual identification.

Suitable for

• Short patching between switches, patch panels and servers
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• Office LAN connections where cable identification is needed
• Environments requiring reduced smoke and halogen-free materials

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 6A (Cat6A)
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual pair foil + overall braid)
• Jacket material: LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbps over short runs
• Color: yellow

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs to the corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices such as switches, patch panels or servers. Use the 0.5 m length for direct patching where a short, tidy connection is needed; avoid stretching the cable or routing it under tension. Ensure both devices support the required Ethernet speed and that connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep S/FTP patch-cords away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference and avoid tight bends that could deform the cable. Use color-coded patch cords like this yellow cable to simplify identification and management in patch panels and racks. For longer runs or in-wall installations, choose appropriate permanent-link cabling conforming to Cat6A installation standards.
