Ethernet Patch Cable NEWLINK Cat6A 1.5m, Copper RJ45, 10 Gigabit, up to 600 MHz, LSZH jacket

NEWLINK Cat6A shielded Ethernet patch cable, 1.5 m long, with copper RJ45 connectors and an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket. The cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and is specified for performance up to 600 MHz. It is intended for installations that require high data throughput and reduced smoke/toxic emission risk in case of fire, such as data centers, server rooms, and structured office networks.

Advantages

The shielded design reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable high-speed data transfer at 10 Gbps. Copper RJ45 contacts provide reliable conductivity and lower insertion loss compared with plated alternatives. The LSZH jacket minimizes smoke and toxic gases if exposed to fire, making the cable more suitable for enclosed or public spaces where safety regulations prefer non-halogen materials. Its 1.5 m length offers a compact, tidy connection between network equipment and patch panels or switches.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and server rooms
• High-speed LAN links between switches, routers, and workstations
• Structured cabling in offices, meeting rooms, and comms cabinets
• Environments requiring reduced smoke and halogen emissions (public buildings, enclosed spaces)

When it may not be suitable

The 1.5 m length is intended for short interconnects; it may be too short for installations requiring long cable runs or routing through ceilings and floors. Although shielded, this cable is not a substitute for fiber-optic links where very long distances, immunity to electromagnetic interference over long runs, or higher aggregated bandwidth are required.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A (augmented)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Bandwidth: up to 600 MHz
• Data rate: supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Conductor: copper RJ45 contacts
• Shielding: foil/braid shielding (shielded cable)
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Connector type: RJ45, compatible with standard Ethernet ports

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router, server or workstation) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the patch panel or another device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click and that the cable is routed without excessive bending or kinking to preserve performance. For shielded installations, verify proper grounding of patch panels and equipment to realize the full benefit of the shielding.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that 1.5 m cable length is sufficient for your equipment layout and rack/panel placement
• Verify the need for shielded cable in your environment and ensure proper grounding is available
• Check compatibility with existing network equipment and port types (standard RJ45)
• Consider whether LSZH jacket material is required by building or safety regulations

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends (minimum bend radius recommended by manufacturer), keep the cable away from high-power electrical lines to reduce interference, and confirm grounding of shielded components. Use the cable for short, high-bandwidth connections within racks or between nearby devices to take advantage of its 10 Gigabit capability and LSZH safety properties.
