Ethernet patch cable NEWLINK ART-115K Cat6A 15m, copper RJ45, 10 Gigabit, up to 600MHz, LSZH jacket

NEWLINK ART-115K is a 15 m Cat6A Ethernet patch cable with copper RJ45 connectors designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and performance up to 600 MHz. The cable uses a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer jacket to reduce toxic fumes and dense smoke in case of fire, and its construction supports reliable high-bandwidth copper connectivity for LAN, server rooms and data centre links. The 15-metre length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or wall-to-equipment connections without intermediate couplers.

Advantages

The Cat6A specification and copper conductors enable stable 10 Gigabit transmission and consistent performance up to 600 MHz across the 15 m run. The RJ45 connectors are compatible with standard Ethernet ports and the cable construction minimises interference and crosstalk for improved signal integrity. The LSZH jacket reduces the release of harmful halogenated gases and thick smoke if exposed to fire, which is important for indoor installations in confined or public spaces. The combination of length, build quality and compliance-oriented jacket makes this cable suitable for professional installations where safety and signal performance are required.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in LANs and backbone connections
• Connections between servers, switches and patch panels in server rooms and data centres
• Professional network installations where an LSZH jacket is required
• Workstation-to-wall or rack-to-equipment cabling up to 15 m

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for high-speed copper Ethernet within buildings and enclosed network environments. It may not be suitable for outdoor, direct-burial or prolonged UV-exposed installations unless additional protective conduit or routing is used. For environments that require fibre-optic transmission, very long-distance runs beyond copper limitations, or specific hazardous-area certifications, a fibre cable or specialised certified product should be considered instead.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A
• Length: 15 m
• Conductor type: copper
• Connector type: RJ45 (8P8C)
• Rated data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Frequency performance: up to 600 MHz
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)

How to use

Route the NEWLINK ART-115K cable between devices or patch panels avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Insert the RJ45 plug fully into the Ethernet port until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. For rack installations, allow gentle service loops and use cable management to prevent strain on connectors. If installing in plenum or shared-occupancy spaces, verify local regulations accept LSZH jackets. Do not expose the cable to outdoor weathering without protective conduit.

What to consider before purchase

• Required link length and whether 15 m meets routing needs
• Whether LSZH jacket is mandated by building or project safety standards
• Compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet equipment and RJ45 ports
• Need for outdoor-rated, UV-resistant, or fibre-optic alternatives for long runs

Usage recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for copper Ethernet, avoid tight bends (minimum bend radius per manufacturer guidance), and separate from high-voltage power lines to reduce interference. Terminate and test links with appropriate network testers after installation to confirm 10 Gigabit throughput and signal integrity.
