Patchcord LANBERG Category 6A S/FTP LSZH Cu 20 m blue, Fluke passed

LANBERG Category 6A S/FTP LSZH patchcord, 20 m in blue, is a stranded copper patch cable engineered for high-performance Ethernet and structured cabling systems. The cable features S/FTP shielding—overall braid with individually foiled pairs—and a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) outer jacket to reduce hazardous emissions in confined spaces. Fluke-passed verification confirms the cable meets controlled testing criteria for Category 6A performance, providing reliable operation for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and other high-speed network applications.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction delivers superior protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives, improving signal integrity in dense cabling environments. The stranded copper conductor balances flexibility for routing and durability for repeated moves or reterminations. The LSZH jacket minimizes smoke and toxic gas output in the event of a fire, making it suitable for installations where occupant safety and limited smoke emission are priorities. The blue color provides easy visual identification within structured cabling systems.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• Office network horizontal and backbone cabling
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference
• Installations where low-smoke, zero-halogen materials are required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 6A (Cat6A)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foiled pairs)
• Conductor type: Stranded copper (Cu)
• Jacket material: LSZH (low-smoke, zero-halogen)
• Length: 20 m
• Color: Blue
• Typical use: 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed network links

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs on each end of the patchcord to compatible network devices or patch panels rated for Category 6A cabling. Route the cable following standard installation practices to avoid sharp bends, excessive pulling force, and proximity to high-voltage power lines that could reintroduce interference. Secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories to maintain bend radius and minimize mechanical stress. If reusing or rerouting the cable, inspect connectors and jacket for damage before redeployment.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6A S/FTP LSZH patchcord in shielded or properly grounded installations to ensure the shielding is effective. Maintain the recommended maximum bend radius and avoid kinking; do not exceed manufacturer-recommended pull tensions during installation. When deploying in areas with strict fire-safety requirements, choose LSZH-jacketed cables like this LANBERG patchcord to reduce smoke and halogen emissions.
