Ethernet patch cable NEWLINK ART-120 Cat6A 20m, copper RJ45, 10Gbps, up to 600MHz, LSZH jacket

NEWLINK ART-120 Cat6A shielded Ethernet patch cable, 20 meters long, provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity using copper RJ45 contacts. Designed for environments that require high data throughput and improved electromagnetic protection, this cable supports frequency performance up to 600 MHz. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations with stricter fire-safety requirements. The grey jacket and standard RJ45 connectors make it compatible with switches, routers, servers and network outlets used in office, data center and industrial cabling.

Advantages

The shielded Cat6A construction offers enhanced resistance to external interference and crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, supporting stable 10 Gbps links over typical copper distances. Copper RJ45 contacts provide reliable electrical connection and compatibility with existing Ethernet equipment. The cable’s performance up to 600 MHz ensures support for high-bandwidth applications and future-proofing for many current network topologies. The LSZH outer jacket reduces the release of corrosive and toxic gases during combustion, improving safety in enclosed spaces.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• 10 Gigabit LAN connections between switches and servers in data centers
• High-speed workstation to switch connections in enterprise offices
• Structured cabling runs where shielded cable is required to limit EMI
• Environments with fire-safety requirements that mandate low-smoke, low-toxicity materials

When it may not be suitable

This shielded Cat6A cable is optimized for 10 Gbps copper Ethernet and environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference; it is not a fibre-optic solution and therefore not suitable where fiber connectivity or long-distance optical links are required. For very short, casual home connections where 1 Gbps performance is sufficient, an unshielded Cat5e or Cat6 cable may be a lower-cost alternative.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A (shielded)
• Length: 20 meters
• Conductor type: copper
• Connector type: RJ45 (copper contacts)
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbps
• Frequency performance: up to 600 MHz
• Outer jacket: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)

How to use

Route the 20 m cable between network devices, taking care to avoid sharp bends and tight loops that could stress the cable or connectors. Connect RJ45 plugs to the Ethernet ports of switches, routers, servers or workstations until the connector latches click into place. If the installation requires maintaining shield continuity, ensure the connected equipment and patch panels support shielding and that shields are properly terminated. Test the link speed and error rate with network diagnostic tools after installation to confirm 10 Gbps operation where applicable.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network devices and patch panels support 10 Gbps copper links and shielded cabling if shield continuity is needed.
• Confirm that 20 m length fits your planned cable route without requiring extra slack or strain relief.
• Check whether LSZH jacket material is required by local fire-safety codes or building regulations.

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps performance, avoid running the shielded cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and use proper cable management to prevent sharp bends. When integrating into shielded racks or panels, maintain proper grounding practices to preserve the effectiveness of the cable shield.
