Ethernet patch cable NEWLINK ART-105 Cat6A 5m, grey, copper RJ45, 10Gbps, up to 600MHz, LSZH jacket

NEWLINK ART-105 Cat6A 5m patch cable is engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in environments that require stable high-speed data transmission. The 5 metre grey cable uses copper RJ45 terminations and is specified for performance up to 600 MHz. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer jacket reduces toxic and corrosive gas emission in case of fire, making it suitable for enclosed spaces and installations with safety or regulatory constraints.

Advantages

This Cat6A cable supports 10Gbps data rates with headroom up to 600 MHz, offering reliable throughput for demanding network applications. Copper RJ45 connectors ensure full conductor contact and compatibility with standard Ethernet ports. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous fumes and smoke during combustion, which is important for installations in offices, data centers, and public buildings where evacuation and sensitive equipment protection are priorities. The 5 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-desk and patch-panel connections without excess slack.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• 10 Gigabit uplinks between switches, patch panels and servers
• High-speed office and home network connections
• Structured cabling in data centers and server rooms
• Environments where low-smoke, low-halogen materials are required

When it may not be suitable

This Cat6A patch cable is designed for copper Ethernet runs and is not suitable for fibre-optic links or long-distance backbone cabling where optical transmission is required. For runs significantly longer than 5 metres, or for installations needing shielded cable types to reduce electromagnetic interference, a different length or a shielded specification may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A
• Length: 5 m
• Conductor: copper
• Connector type: RJ45 (8P8C)
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Frequency performance: up to 600 MHz
• Outer jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: grey

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device or patch panel and the other into the corresponding port on the switch, router or workstation. Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the clip engages to maintain a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, kinks, and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For neat installation in structured cabling, use cable management accessories and avoid bundling with high-voltage power lines.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and potential need for additional slack
• Whether a shielded cable is necessary in high-interference environments
• Compatibility with existing patch panels and RJ45 ports
• Regulatory or safety requirements for LSZH jacket in the installation area

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat6A cable for intra-rack and short horizontal runs up to 5 m and test connections after installation with a suitable network tester to verify 10Gbps link integrity and correct wiring.
