Ethernet patch cable NEWLINK ART-100-HK Cat6A, 0.25 m, copper RJ45, 10 Gigabit, up to 600 MHz, LSZH jacket

NEWLINK ART-100-HK Cat6A patch cable, 0.25 m, is a short copper RJ45 network cable engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications and guaranteed performance up to 600 MHz. The compact length is intended for high-density patching in racks and between adjacent devices where minimal cable slack is required. A Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket reduces harmful emissions in case of fire, making this cable suitable for data centers, server rooms and other enclosed indoor environments where fire safety and low-smoke characteristics are important.

Advantages

This Cat6A cable provides reliable copper connectivity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet while maintaining signal integrity up to 600 MHz. The short 0.25 m length minimizes clutter and cable management effort in densely populated racks and switch panels. RJ45 connectors deliver standard, tool-free patching compatibility with network switches, patch panels and servers. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic and corrosive gas release in a fire, improving safety in confined or public spaces where halogen-free materials are preferred.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between adjacent switches, patch panels and servers in racks
• High-density networking environments where minimal cable slack is needed
• Data centers, server rooms and telecommunication cabinets with fire-safety requirements
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and high-bandwidth local connections

When it may not be suitable

This 0.25 m cable is not intended for long runs or for routing around large obstacles; it is too short for connecting distant devices. It also does not provide shielding beyond the standard copper pairs, so in installations with strong electromagnetic interference or where shielded cabling is required, an appropriately shielded Cat6A cable should be chosen instead.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A
• Length: 0.25 m
• Conductor: copper
• Connector type: RJ45, male-to-male
• Rated bandwidth: up to 600 MHz
• Data rate: supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Typical use: patch cable for racks and network equipment

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs to the network ports of switches, patch panels or servers ensuring the clip locks the connector in place. Use the 0.25 m length for short, direct patching inside racks or between closely placed devices to keep cable runs tidy and reduce signal degradation due to excess cable. Route the cable through cable managers or tie points as needed to avoid strain on connectors and to maintain airflow in equipment racks.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether a 0.25 m patch cable fits your rack layout
• Whether an unshielded copper cable meets electromagnetic environment requirements
• Need for LSZH jacket material for fire-safety and low-smoke environments
• Compatibility with your existing 10 Gigabit equipment and RJ45 ports

Usage recommendations

Use this short Cat6A patch cable for tidy, high-performance connections in racks and dense network panels. Avoid sharp bends near the connector and do not over-tension the cable; secure it with cable management accessories to preserve connector integrity and maintain consistent 10 Gigabit performance.
