Ethernet patch cable NEWLINK ART-102K Cat6A 2m, copper RJ45, 10 Gigabit, up to 600 MHz, LSZH jacket

NEWLINK ART-102K is a 2 m Cat6A Ethernet patch cable with copper RJ45 connectors engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks and tested performance up to 600 MHz. The cable uses a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer jacket to reduce toxic and corrosive gases in the event of fire, making it suitable for enclosed environments where fire safety and low emissions are required. With solid shielding and copper conductors, this patch cable offers stable high‑speed connectivity for data centers, office LANs, and backbone links.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat6A specification and 10 Gigabit capability to support high data rates and reduced crosstalk at frequencies up to 600 MHz. Copper RJ45 terminations ensure reliable electrical contact and lower attenuation compared with plated alternatives. The LSZH jacket provides enhanced safety in confined spaces by emitting less smoke and halogenated gases during combustion. Compact 2 m length minimizes excess cable in patching environments and simplifies cable management.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and server rooms
• Office desktop to wall‑port patching and horizontal cabling segments
• High‑speed backbone or switch‑to‑switch links within racks or cabinets
• Installations where low smoke and low halogen emissions are required

When it may not be suitable

This 2 m patch cable is not intended for long‑distance backbone runs between buildings or across large campus environments; for those applications, longer bulk cabling or fiber optic solutions are typically required. It also does not provide additional shielding types beyond the cable's specified construction—if a specific shielded variant (e.g., FTP, S/FTP) is required by your environment, confirm the cable construction before purchase.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A
• Length: 2 m
• Connector type: Copper RJ45
• Data rate: up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Frequency performance: up to 600 MHz
• Outer jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)

How to use

Connect one end of the Ethernet patch cable to the RJ45 port of your switch, router or network interface and the other end to the corresponding wall outlet or device. Keep the cable routed without sharp bends and avoid tight bundling with power cables to maintain performance. For best results in patch panels and keystone jacks, fully insert the RJ45 plug until the latch clicks and verify link status on connected equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify required cable length and avoid unnecessary excess to simplify cable management.
• Confirm that Cat6A performance and 10 Gigabit capability meet your current and near‑term network needs.
• Ensure LSZH jacket compliance if your installation requires low smoke and low halogen materials.
• Check whether specific shielding types are needed in electrically noisy environments.

Usage recommendations

For consistent 10 Gigabit performance, avoid running the cable parallel to large electrical power runs and maintain recommended bend radius; use this 2 m Cat6A patch cable for short interconnects within racks, between switches and patch panels, and for desktop patching where LSZH materials are required.
