Dätwyler Category 6A Patch Cable 10m SFTP LS0H Copper (Cat.6A, 10 m, S/FTP, CU)

Dätwyler Category 6A Patch Cable 10m SFTP LS0H Copper is a shielded network cable engineered for high‑speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gigabit. The cable features S/FTP shielding — an overall braid plus individually shielded pairs — and oxygen‑free copper conductors, housed in a low‑smoke zero‑halogen (LS0H) jacket. It is designed to reduce electromagnetic interference, maintain signal integrity over 10 meters, and meet safety requirements for installations where reduced smoke and toxic emissions are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides enhanced protection against near‑end crosstalk and external electromagnetic disturbances, improving data reliability in dense cabling environments. Copper conductors ensure low attenuation and consistent electrical performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The LS0H jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire and helps meet building safety standards in commercial and data centre environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in server rooms and data centres
• Shielded links between switches and patch panels in enterprise LANs
• Workstation and office connections where reduced EMI is required
• Installations requiring low‑smoke, halogen‑free cabling for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 6A (Cat.6A)
• Length: 10 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Conductor material: Copper
• Jacket type: LS0H (low‑smoke zero‑halogen)
• Data rate support: up to 10 Gbps over typical horizontal distances
• Impedance: 100 Ω (nominal)

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 terminated end of the patch cable to the network device (switch, router or network interface) and the other end to the patch panel, wall outlet or endpoint device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and engaged to establish a secure link. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; maintain recommended minimum bend radius to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. For permanent installations, verify continuity and performance with a certified cable tester after termination.

Usage recommendations

Use this S/FTP LS0H patch cable in environments where improved shielding and fire safety are required. Avoid running the cable in direct contact with high‑voltage power lines and keep separation from large electrical equipment to reduce possible interference. For optimal 10 Gbps performance, keep the cable length within standards for horizontal structured cabling and test the link after installation.
