Patch cord DATACOM S/FTP CAT6A 0.5m gray

DATACOM S/FTP CAT6A patch cord, 0.5 m in gray, designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. The cable uses individually shielded twisted pairs and an overall braid to minimise electromagnetic interference and support 10GBase-T and lower network protocols. The LSZH jacket and 27AWG conductors provide a balanced construction for short patching runs between devices such as PCs, patch panels and switches.

Advantages

The S/FTP design combines foil shielding around each pair with an overall braided shield to reduce crosstalk and external noise. Certified as CAT6A (Class Ea), the cable supports transmission bandwidths up to 500 MHz and data rates up to 10 Gbit/s. A compact 0.5 m length is convenient for patching in racks or desktop setups, while the LSZH outer jacket offers lower smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire.

Suitable for

• Patching between PCs and wall outlets
• Connections from patch panels to switches or routers
• Short in-rack or desktop Ethernet links requiring 10 Gbit/s

How to use

Plug RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports of devices to establish a network link. Use this 0.5 m patch cord for short connections where minimal slack is needed, such as between a patch panel and a nearby switch or from a desktop PC to a nearby wall socket. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid sharp bends near the cable ends to maintain signal integrity.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the cable within structured cabling runs up to its specified category limits, avoid running parallel to high-power electrical cables, and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.
