Ethernet patch cable DELTACO S/FTP Cat6a LSZH 2 m gray

DELTACO S/FTP Cat6a LSZH 2 m gray is a 2-meter Ethernet patch cable engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed network links. The cable features S/FTP shielding—individually foiled pairs plus an overall braided drain—to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket minimizes toxic and corrosive gas release in case of fire, making the cable suitable for installations where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides enhanced protection against alien crosstalk and EMI, improving signal integrity for high-bandwidth applications. Cat6a specification supports 10 Gb/s Ethernet over 2 meters with consistent performance across the frequency range. The LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and hazardous fumes during combustion, which is beneficial for confined or public spaces. The 2 m length and flexible gray jacket enable neat patching in racks, wall outlets, and desktop setups.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in office and data center patch panels
• High-speed links between switches, servers, and network appliances
• Structured cabling where low-smoke zero-halogen materials are required
• Desktop and wall outlet patching in commercial and residential environments

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (individually foiled pairs + overall braided drain)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Length: 2 meters
• Color: gray
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends (shielded)
• Supported speed: up to 10 Gbps
• Typical application frequency: up to 500 MHz

How to use

Insert the shielded RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices, ensuring the connectors click into place. For best results, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling; maintain the manufacturer-recommended bend radius to preserve shielding and internal pair geometry. When connecting to shielded patch panels or metal outlets, ensure the cable shield is properly grounded via the connector and panel to maximize EMI protection.

Usage recommendations

Use this DELTACO S/FTP Cat6a LSZH cable for short-distance high-speed connections where reduced emissions are required. Avoid running the cable parallel to large power conductors for long distances; instead, cross power lines at right angles to reduce potential interference. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace any cable that shows visible wear to maintain network reliability.
