Patchcord cable RJ45 Cat.6A FTP LSZH 1m red – GEMBIRD

GEMBIRD Patchcord RJ45 Cat.6A FTP LSZH 1m red is a shielded Ethernet patch cable engineered for high-speed 10 Gigabit networks and reliable data transmission. The cable’s foil twisted-pair (FTP) shielding reduces electromagnetic interference from nearby cabling and equipment, while the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket limits smoke and hazardous gas emission in case of fire. With a 1 m length and compact RJ45 connectors, this red patchcord is suitable for short interconnections between switches, patch panels, routers and wall outlets in home, office and data center environments.

Advantages

The shielded FTP design improves signal integrity and reduces crosstalk and external noise on high-frequency links, supporting stable operation at 10 Gbps over short distances. The LSZH jacket meets safety requirements for installations where reduced smoke and toxic fumes are important, such as enclosed or public spaces. The cable’s construction provides reliable plug-and-play connectivity, consistent impedance for minimized packet loss, and a vivid red jacket for easy visual identification in cable bundles and racks.

Suitable for

• Short connections between switches, patch panels and routers
• Workstation to wall outlet or desk-side networking
• High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over short runs
• Environments requiring low-smoke, low-toxicity cabling
• Cable management scenarios where color-coding is used

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A (supports 10GBASE-T over short distances)
• Shielding: FTP (foil shield over all pairs)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male
• Length: 1 meter
• Color: red
• Conductor arrangement: twisted pairs

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plugs into corresponding Ethernet ports on networking equipment such as switches, routers, patch panels or workstation network interfaces until the connector latch clicks. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain reliable contact. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain recommended bend radius to preserve cable performance. For installations in areas with multiple cables, use the red color to identify this run quickly when tracing or testing connections.

Usage recommendations

For optimal 10 Gbps performance, keep this 1 m Cat.6A FTP LSZH patchcord for short interconnects within racks or between adjacent devices. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines for extended distances to minimize potential interference. When installing in public or enclosed spaces, the LSZH jacket provides an additional safety measure compared with standard PVC jackets.
