Patch-cord Alantec category 6A U/UTP purple 0.25 m LSOH (KKU6AFIO0.25)

Alantec patch-cord category 6A U/UTP in purple with a 0.25 m LSOH jacket is a short networking cable intended for high-speed Ethernet and structured cabling environments. The unshielded twisted-pair design supports Category 6A performance levels for reliable data transmission in short interconnections such as rack-to-patch-panel, patch-panel-to-equipment or within network cabinets. The LSOH jacket reduces smoke and omits halogens to minimise toxic fume emission in enclosed spaces.

Advantages

This patch-cord provides Category 6A electrical performance in a compact 0.25 m length, enabling neat and efficient cable management in dense rack configurations. The U/UTP construction delivers consistent signal integrity for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over short runs, while the LSOH outer jacket enhances safety in public or enclosed installations by producing less smoke and no halogenated gases in case of fire. The purple colour improves visual identification and documentation of network segments.

Suitable for

• Short interconnections between patch panels and switches in server rooms
• Equipment-to-equipment connections within racks and network cabinets
• Structured cabling installations where low-smoke, halogen-free materials are required
• Environments requiring clear colour-coded network identification

Key specifications

• Category: 6A performance (U/UTP)
• Cable length: 0.25 m
• Conductor configuration: Unshielded twisted pairs
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSOH)
• Colour: Purple
• Connector type: Standard RJ45 terminated

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to the network port on the patch panel or switch and the other RJ45 connector to the network device or adjacent panel port. Ensure both ends are fully seated and secured to avoid intermittent contacts. Use the 0.25 m length for tidy short links within racks or between closely spaced equipment; avoid excessive bending near connectors and maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius to preserve signal performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use this patch-cord in conjunction with Category 6A-compliant panels and switches, and avoid running it alongside high-voltage power cables to minimise electromagnetic interference. Verify cabling plans and colour-coding schemes before installation to maintain consistent network documentation.
