Ethernet Patch Cable NEWLINK ART-102 Cat6A 2m, Copper RJ45, 10Gbps, up to 600MHz, LSZH jacket

NEWLINK ART-102 is a Cat6A Ethernet patch cable with a 2 m length, copper RJ45 connectors and support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 600 MHz. The cable uses solid copper conductors and an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket designed to limit toxic and corrosive emissions in enclosed spaces. It is intended for high-speed LAN links, professional network racks and data center patching where a reliable 10Gbps connection and improved fire safety characteristics are required.

Advantages

The cable delivers 10Gbps performance and supports frequency response up to 600 MHz, meeting Cat6A channel requirements for reduced crosstalk and improved signal integrity. Copper RJ45 terminations provide stable contact resistance and consistent transmission for demanding network traffic. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen release in the event of a fire, making the cable suitable for use in public or confined spaces where lower emission materials are preferred. The 2 m length offers a balance between reach and neat cable management in patch panels and workstation connections.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, servers and patch panels
• High-speed LAN and office network installations
• Data center horizontal and rack-level patching
• Environments requiring reduced smoke and halogen emissions (corridors, equipment rooms)
• Professional network deployments where Cat6A performance is specified

When it may not be suitable

This 2 m Cat6A patch cable is not intended for long-distance backbone cabling or outdoor buried installation; it is designed for in-building patching and horizontal links. If a non-LSZH jacket is specifically required for compatibility with existing infrastructure or temperature/environmental ratings beyond the stated usage, select a cable with a different jacket material.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A (augmented Category 6)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: Copper RJ45 on both ends
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Frequency: up to 600 MHz
• Conductor material: copper
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Typical application: LAN, data center patching, switch-to-server links

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on network equipment such as switches, patch panels or network interface cards. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable with gentle bends and avoid tight kinks or sharp edges that can affect performance. For best results in patch panels, use cable management accessories to maintain bend radius and reduce stress at the termination points.

What to consider before purchase

• Required link length and whether 2 m provides appropriate reach for your setup
• Whether Cat6A performance and 10Gbps capability are necessary for your network
• Jacket type: LSZH is suitable for low-emission environments but verify compatibility with existing infrastructure
• Connector type and conductor material: copper RJ45 expected for standard Ethernet ports

Usage recommendations

Use the NEWLINK ART-102 for short-range trunking and patching inside racks and between nearby equipment. Maintain proper bend radius, avoid excessive pulling force on the connectors, and keep the cable away from high-power electrical runs to minimize electromagnetic interference and preserve 10Gbps performance.
