LANBERG Patchcord Cat.6A FTP LSZH CCA 3m — Shielded Ethernet Cable, 3 m

LANBERG Patchcord Cat.6A FTP LSZH CCA 3m is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for structured cabling and patching in network environments that require Cat6A performance. The cable features a foil-shielded twisted pair (FTP) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and a low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) outer jacket to limit toxic and corrosive emissions in case of fire. Conductors are copper-coated aluminum (CCA), offering a lighter and cost-effective alternative for short- to medium-distance links such as office desks, patch panels and network switches.

Advantages

The FTP shielding improves immunity to external noise sources and helps maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies typical for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The LSZH jacket reduces the risk of harmful fumes in confined or public spaces where fire safety standards are important. Using CCA conductors provides lower weight and lower material cost compared with solid copper, making this cable economical for many patching scenarios while still meeting Cat6A transmission requirements when installed and used within recommended distances.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches and patch panels in office and server room environments
• Desktop and workstation cabling for local area networks
• Home networking where cost-effective Cat6A-rated performance is required
• Short to medium horizontal runs up to standard patch length limits

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A FTP
• Shielding: Foil-shielded twisted pairs (FTP)
• Conductor type: Copper-coated aluminum (CCA)
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Length: 3 m
• Connector type: RJ45 compatible
• Suitable for: 10/5/2.5/1 Gbps Ethernet applications within Cat6A parameters

How to use

Use the LANBERG Cat.6A FTP LSZH CCA 3m patchcord to connect network devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and desktop PCs. Ensure connectors are fully inserted into RJ45 ports until the latch clicks, and avoid tight bending or kinking near connector ends. Route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible; the foil shield will mitigate but not eliminate very strong noise sources. For optimal performance, minimize untwisting of pairs when terminating and keep cable runs within intended patch lengths.

Usage recommendations

For installations requiring the highest long-distance performance and maximum conductivity, use solid copper cables. Use this CCA-based Cat.6A FTP LSZH patchcord for patching, short horizontal runs and cost-sensitive deployments while adhering to building safety standards for LSZH cabling.
