Network patchcord Gembird RJ45 Cat.6A FTP LSZH 0.5 m green

Gembird RJ45 Cat.6A FTP LSZH 0.5 m green patchcord is a short network cable engineered for high-speed Ethernet connections up to 10 Gbps. The cable features Category 6A performance with foil-screened twisted pairs (FTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. An LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer sheath minimizes harmful smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire, making this cable suitable for indoor installations where safety and low emissions are important. The compact 0.5 m length and molded RJ45 connectors are intended for patching between equipment, patch panels and network switches in confined cabinet and rack spaces.

Advantages

The FTP shielding provides improved noise suppression compared with unshielded cables, supporting reliable 10 Gbps links in environments with potential interference. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas output during combustion, aligning with safety requirements for offices, server rooms and public buildings. A short 0.5 m length minimizes cable clutter and signal attenuation in patching applications, while standardized RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common networking hardware.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, patch panels and network devices in racks
• Short connections in server rooms and data cabinets
• Office workstations where low-smoke materials are required
• High-speed 10 Gbps Ethernet links over short distances

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A
• Shielding: FTP (foil-screened twisted pairs)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ45, molded
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps (over suitable infrastructure)
• Color: green

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network switch or patch panel port and the other plug to the target device or adjacent patch port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks for secure mating. Use the 0.5 m patchcord for short point-to-point links inside racks or between closely spaced equipment to maintain clean cable management and minimize excess slack. Do not bend the cable sharply near the connectors and avoid placing heavy objects on the cable to preserve performance.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat.6A FTP LSZH patchcord within its specified 0.5 m length for short patch connections and combine it with properly rated Cat.6A structured cabling and shielded network equipment. Maintain proper grounding and follow shielding installation practices when deploying FTP cables to ensure interference protection.
