Network cable GEMBIRD Cat6a RJ-45 to RJ-45 1.5 m Blue

GEMBIRD Cat6a RJ-45 to RJ-45 network cable, 1.5 m in blue, is a foil-shielded Cat6A patch cord designed for high-speed Ethernet and 10 Gigabit-ready networks. The cable features foil-shielded pairs with a braided overall shield to reduce electromagnetic interference, gold-plated RJ-45 contacts for reliable signal transfer, molded strain reliefs and snagless boots to protect connectors during installation. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides reduced smoke and no halogen emissions in case of fire, making it suitable for indoor use in homes, offices and data centers where safety standards are required.

Advantages

The cable supports Cat6a performance and is suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short to medium distances, offering consistent bandwidth and reduced crosstalk due to foil shielding and braided outer shield. Gold-plated contacts enhance corrosion resistance and maintain stable electrical contact. Molded strain reliefs and snagless boots protect the connector ends from bending and accidental snags during routing and patching. The blue LSZH jacket combines clear visual identification with low-smoke, halogen-free fire safety properties for indoor network installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems in home or office networks
• Linking NAS devices, servers or workstations to network infrastructure
• Patching between patch panels and wall sockets in structured cabling
• Short to medium length 10 Gigabit Ethernet links where Cat6a performance is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: foil shielded twisted pairs with braided overall shield
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Design features: molded strain reliefs and snagless boots
• Colour: blue

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector fully into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks. Use the cable to connect network equipment such as switches, routers, NAS units or PCs. Route the cable following standard cable management practices to avoid tight bends and excessive tension; the molded strain reliefs help protect the connector but do not replace proper cable routing. For patch panel connections, ensure the connectors are fully seated and secured in the appropriate ports.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for long distances and maintain bend radius greater than the cable diameter. Use this Cat6a cable for 10 Gigabit-ready links within its supported distance range and in environments where LSZH jacket properties are required for reduced smoke and halogen emissions.
