Ethernet patch cable NEWLINK ART-100K Cat6A 0.5m, copper RJ45, 10Gbps, up to 600MHz, LSZH jacket, black

The NEWLINK ART-100K Cat6A Ethernet patch cable is a shielded, high-performance copper RJ45 cable designed for short-distance connections in professional networks. At 0.5 m length it provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet throughput and channel performance up to 600 MHz, with an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket for reduced smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire. The cable is intended for reliable interconnections between switches, routers, network interface cards and patch panels in environments where signal integrity and safety are important.

Advantages

This Cat6A patch cable delivers 10Gbps data rates and supports up to 600 MHz channel bandwidth to maintain signal quality for demanding applications. The shielded design reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving stability in dense cabling or electrically noisy environments. Copper RJ45 contacts ensure good conductivity and reliable mating with standard network ports. The LSZH jacket enhances occupant safety in enclosed spaces and public areas by emitting less smoke and hazardous gases if exposed to fire. The 0.5 m length minimises excess cable in racks and patch panels, keeping installations neat.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, routers and patch panels in server rooms and wiring closets
• Connecting network interface cards (NICs) to nearby switches for 10 Gigabit links
• Short horizontal runs in data centers and telecom racks where shielded cabling is required
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen materials such as public buildings and enclosed spaces

When it may not be suitable

This 0.5 m Cat6A cable is intended for short connection runs; it is not suitable for long-distance backbone cabling or horizontal runs that exceed standard cable length limits for required performance. The shielded construction requires compatible shielded connectors and properly grounded patch panels or equipment to fully realise EMI reduction; in unshielded installations the benefits will be limited.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A (augmented)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Conductor material: copper
• Connector type: RJ45, shielded
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Channel performance: up to 600 MHz
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: black

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors fully seat and any shielding contact engages where applicable. Use the 0.5 m patch cable to connect adjacent ports in racks, patch panels or equipment with limited separation to minimise cable slack. For shielded installations, verify that patch panel frames and connected devices provide proper grounding to maintain the effectiveness of the shield. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension when routing the cable to preserve performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the required cable length; 0.5 m is suited for short patching only
• Ensure connected equipment supports 10 Gigabit links if that throughput is needed
• Check whether your infrastructure uses shielded components and proper grounding
• Verify LSZH jacket is required for the installation environment for safety compliance

Usage recommendations

For best results install the cable in shielded racks or patch panels with verified grounding and keep the cable run free from sharp bends. Use the 0.5 m length to reduce clutter in high-density panels and to maintain optimal signal integrity for short 10GbE connections.
