Ethernet patch cable NEWLINK ART-100 Cat6A 10Gbps Copper RJ45 600MHz LSZH, 0.5m

NEWLINK ART-100 is a 0.5 m Cat6A Ethernet patch cable designed for short links where 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance is required. The cable uses copper conductors with RJ45 connectors and supports frequencies up to 600 MHz. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer jacket reduces toxic and corrosive emissions in case of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations where safety and low-smoke behavior are preferred. This compact patch cable is intended for connections within server racks, between switches, and from wall outlets to workstations.

Advantages

The cable provides 10 Gbps data throughput and supports up to 600 MHz bandwidth to maintain signal integrity for high-speed Ethernet applications over short distances. Copper RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard network ports without special adapters. The LSZH jacket lowers the risk of harmful smoke and halogen gases during combustion, which is beneficial for enclosed or densely populated spaces. Its 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and is convenient for tidy rack and desktop wiring.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in server racks and switch-to-switch links within the same cabinet
• Connecting network devices to wall outlets or patch panels in offices and data rooms
• Workstation cabling where minimal cable slack and tidy routing are required
• Indoor environments where low smoke and halogen-free materials are preferred for safety

When it may not be suitable

This 0.5 m cable is not intended for long-distance runs; for links exceeding several meters or for in-floor and external duct installations, longer cables with appropriate environmental ratings should be used. The LSZH jacket improves safety in fires but does not imply additional waterproofing or UV resistance, so it is not suitable for outdoor or direct-burial use.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A
• Length: 0.5 m
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Frequency: up to 600 MHz
• Conductor material: copper
• Connector type: RJ45, shielded or unshielded depending on variant
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Use: patch cable for indoor networking

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of the source device (switch, patch panel or network card) and the other connector into the destination device (server, switch port or wall socket). Ensure connectors click into place to secure the connection. Route the cable within the rack or along cable management paths to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. For 10 Gbps operation, use only within the specified length and ensure connected equipment and patch panel ports support the desired Ethernet speed.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether 0.5 m is sufficient for your routing and clearance needs
• Whether indoor LSZH-rated jacket meets installation safety requirements
• Compatibility of connected equipment with 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Cat6A cabling
• Whether a shielded variant is necessary to reduce electromagnetic interference in your environment

Usage recommendations

Use the NEWLINK ART-100 Cat6A 0.5 m patch cable for short, high-speed links inside racks and between adjacent devices. Maintain gentle bend radii, avoid kinking, and install within cable management channels to preserve performance at 10 Gbps. For extended runs or outdoor use, select appropriately rated cables and lengths.
