Network cable NEWLINK ART-103K Cat6A patch cable 3m, Copper RJ45, 10 Gbps, up to 600 MHz, LSZH jacket

NEWLINK ART-103K is a 3 m Cat6A Ethernet patch cable with copper RJ45 connectors designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and signal performance up to 600 MHz. The cable uses a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket to limit smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire, making it suitable for installations where reduced emissions are required. Compact RJ45 plugs and copper conductors provide stable connectivity for LANs, switches, routers and server cabinets.

Advantages

The NEWLINK ART-103K combines Cat6A shielding performance with copper RJ45 contacts to support reliable 10 Gbps data transfer and maintain signal integrity at frequencies up to 600 MHz. The 3 m length covers short to medium patching needs in racks and workstations while the LSZH jacket reduces hazardous emissions compared with standard PVC sheaths. The cable construction and connector finish are intended to ensure consistent contact and long-term mechanical durability in professional network environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links
• Patch panels, server racks and data centre interconnects
• Connections between switches, routers and network appliances
• Office workstations and professional networking installations requiring LSZH materials

When it may not be suitable

The ART-103K is a fixed-length 3 m patch cable and may not be suitable when longer runs without intermediate devices are required; in such cases permanent structured cabling or longer cables should be used. The LSZH jacket improves fire-safety characteristics but does not provide the same mechanical elasticity or chemical resistance as some specialized outdoor or direct-burial cables, so it is not intended for harsh outdoor exposure without additional protection.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A
• Length: 3 m
• Conductor type: copper
• Connector type: RJ45
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbps
• Frequency performance: up to 600 MHz
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Typical use: patch cable for indoor network infrastructure

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to your network device (switch, router, NIC or patch panel) and the other to the corresponding port on the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and the latch engages to maintain a secure connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends and keep the cable away from high-power electrical lines or heavy electromagnetic interference sources. Use proper cable management in racks and cabinets to maintain bend radius and prevent strain on the connectors.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that 3 m is the required length for your patching scenario and rack layout.
• Ensure your network hardware supports 10 Gbps if you plan to use the cable at maximum throughput.
• Check that an LSZH jacket is required or preferred for your installation environment (e.g., data centres or public buildings).
• Consider whether an outdoor-rated or shielded cable is needed for your specific environment.

Usage recommendations

For consistent 10 Gbps performance, pair the NEWLINK ART-103K with compliant Cat6A ports and maintain proper cable routing and bend radius; in rack environments use horizontal managers or Velcro ties to prevent undue stress on the RJ45 connectors.
