Patch cord Belden 10GX S/FTP LSZH, model CAE4108002M, 10GX S/FTP low-smoke zero-halogen

Belden 10GX S/FTP LSZH patch cord is a high-performance network cable designed for structured cabling and mission-critical Ethernet links. The cable uses S/FTP shielding (overall braid plus individually foiled pairs) to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, while the low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket limits toxic and corrosive emissions in the event of fire. This patch cord is intended for use in server rooms, data centers and communication cabinets where signal integrity and safety regulations are important.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides robust protection against alien crosstalk and EMI, supporting stable high-speed data transmission. The LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and hazardous gas output, which helps meet safety and building-code requirements for enclosed environments. The cable’s electrical characteristics and mechanical design are optimized for short horizontal and patching runs, delivering consistent performance for modern Ethernet standards.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Server room and data center patching between switches and servers
• Structured cabling in communication cabinets and wiring closets
• High-density rack environments requiring minimized interference
• Installations where low-smoke zero-halogen materials are required by regulation

Key specifications

• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braided shield plus individually foiled pairs
• Jacket material: LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen)
• Performance class: 10GX category for high-speed Ethernet
• Application: patch cord for structured cabling, horizontal and rack patching

How to use

Install the patch cord by plugging the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports of network switches, patch panels and end devices. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive pulling tension and proximity to large sources of electromagnetic interference. For best performance, use appropriate cable management such as horizontal managers and cable ties that do not compress the jacket. Verify link status and network parameters after installation to confirm that the connection meets expected throughput and error-rate levels.

Usage recommendations

Use the patch cord for short to moderate-length patching runs within racks and between equipment in controlled environments. Avoid outdoor exposure, direct sunlight and prolonged mechanical stress. Where fire-safety standards require, choose LSZH cables to reduce harmful emissions in confined spaces.
