Patch-cord Alantec S/FTP Cat6A LSOH 5.0 m yellow

Alantec S/FTP Cat6A patch-cord with LSOH sheath, 5.0 m length in yellow, is a shielded Ethernet cable designed to deliver Category 6A performance for high-speed network links. The S/FTP construction combines an overall braid shield with individually foil-shielded pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring reliable data transmission in dense installations. The low-smoke, halogen-free (LSOH) outer jacket limits toxic fumes in case of fire, making this cable suitable for use in enclosed spaces where safety standards require reduced smoke and corrosive gases.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP design improves signal integrity by providing both pair-level and overall shielding, which helps maintain throughput at 10 Gigabit Ethernet and reduces packet errors in electrically noisy environments. The LSOH sheath minimizes emission of harmful gases and smoke under fire conditions, supporting compliance with safety requirements for public and commercial buildings. The 5.0 m length and bright yellow color aid in quick identification and neat routing in server rooms, patch panels, and structured cabling systems.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches, servers and network devices
• Connections to patch panels and wall outlets in structured cabling
• Server rooms, data centers and office networking where shielding is required
• Environments where low-smoke, halogen-free cabling is specified for safety

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A performance suitable for 10 Gbps Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braided shield plus individually foil-shielded pairs
• Jacket material: LSOH (low-smoke, halogen-free)
• Length: 5.0 m
• Color: yellow for easy identification
• Connector type: standardized RJ45 terminations compatible with Cat6A ports

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to your network device (switch, router or network card) and the other to the corresponding port on a patch panel, wall outlet or another network device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to guarantee proper contact. Route the cable without tight bends and avoid running parallel and close to heavy power cables to minimize interference. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories to prevent strain at the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Alantec S/FTP Cat6A patch-cord in shielded or bonding-capable installations where the cable shields can be properly grounded. Avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius and maintain separation from strong electromagnetic sources. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace cables showing visible wear to sustain reliable 10 Gigabit connections.
