Ethernet Patch Cable Cat6A NEWLINK ART-101K — 1m, Copper RJ45, 10 Gigabit, up to 600MHz, LSZH jacket

NEWLINK ART-101K is a shielded Category 6A Ethernet patch cable with copper RJ45 connectors, 1 meter in length. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and a frequency performance of up to 600 MHz, providing a reliable short-link solution between switches, routers and patch panels. The cable uses a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer jacket to reduce hazardous emissions in confined or public spaces, making it suitable for offices, data centers and commercial installations where safety standards require reduced smoke and corrosive gases.

Advantages

The shielded Cat6A construction minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for stable high-speed transmission, while copper RJ45 terminations ensure consistent electrical contact and backwards compatibility with Gigabit and lower-speed Ethernet equipment. The 1 m length is convenient for patching racks and connecting adjacent devices without excess cable slack. The LSZH jacket improves safety in enclosed environments by emitting less smoke and halogenated gases in case of fire.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in server rooms and data cabinets
• High-speed links between switches and routers supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Office workstations or meeting rooms where a short, shielded cable is needed
• Commercial and public buildings requiring LSZH-rated cabling

When it may not be suitable

This 1 m cable is designed for short-distance patching and may not be suitable for longer backbone runs or installations that require custom cable lengths. Although it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet, environments that demand fiber optics for very long distances or electromagnetic isolation beyond typical shielded copper capabilities should use appropriate fiber cabling or specialized solutions.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A (shielded)
• Length: 1 meter
• Conductor: Copper
• Connector: RJ45 (shielded)
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Frequency performance: up to 600 MHz
• Jacket type: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Typical use: Patch cable for network equipment

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the switch, router or patch panel port and the other end to the target device or adjacent network port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched to establish a secure mechanical and electrical connection. For rack installations, route the cable without sharp bends and avoid overly tight ties that could stress the jacket or internal conductors. Verify link speed and duplex settings on connected devices if auto-negotiation does not yield the expected 10 Gbps rate.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that 1 meter length matches the intended patching distance
• Ensure connected devices support 10 Gigabit Ethernet if that performance is required
• Check that an LSZH jacket is appropriate or required for the installation environment
• Verify shielded cabling compatibility with existing infrastructure and grounding practices

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gigabit performance, keep patch lengths short, avoid tight bends and strong electromagnetic sources, and follow proper grounding procedures for shielded cabling. Test links after installation to confirm expected throughput and error-free operation.
