Ethernet patch cable NEWLINK ART-150 Cat6A 50m, Copper RJ45, 10 Gigabit, 600MHz, LSZH jacket

NEWLINK ART-150 Cat6A shielded Ethernet patch cable, 50 m in length, is designed for high-speed wired networks requiring stable 10 Gigabit performance. The cable features copper RJ45 connectors and is rated up to 600 MHz, making it suitable for demanding LAN environments, data centre interconnects and backbone links. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in the event of fire, supporting safer installations in enclosed or public spaces.

Advantages

The shielded Cat6A construction minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity over longer runs. Copper RJ45 terminations ensure reliable electrical contact and full support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. The 50 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or room-to-room connections without additional splices, and the LSZH jacket offers improved fire safety characteristics compared with standard PVC-sheathed cables.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in offices and data centres
• Server rack interconnects and switch-to-switch backbone connections
• Structured cabling installations that require Cat6A performance up to 600 MHz
• Environments where reduced smoke and hazardous emissions are important (public buildings, telecom rooms)

When it may not be suitable

This shielded Cat6A patch cable is intended for copper-based Ethernet connections; it is not suitable for fibre-optic links or where optical cabling is required. For very short patching inside a single rack or for simple home networks that do not require 10 Gigabit throughput, Cat5e or Cat6 cables may be a more cost-effective choice.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A (shielded)
• Length: 50 metres
• Connector type: copper RJ45
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Frequency rating: up to 600 MHz
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Construction: twisted pairs with shielding to reduce EMI and crosstalk

How to use

Route the NEWLINK Cat6A cable between devices, patch panels or switches, avoiding tight bends and sources of heavy electromagnetic interference. Terminate each end into RJ45 ports on compatible network equipment or patch panels designed for shielded cables; ensure that shield continuity is maintained through proper connector and panel grounding if required. Use cable management such as trays and velcro straps to prevent strain and maintain bend radius recommendations, and label both ends for easier maintenance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network equipment supports 10 Gigabit speeds if you need full performance.
• Check that patch panels and connectors in your infrastructure accommodate shielded Cat6A cabling and grounding.
• Confirm that 50 m length matches run distance including routing path and reserve for cable management.
• Assess environmental requirements where LSZH jacket is preferred for reduced smoke and toxicity.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius, avoid sharp kinks, keep the cable clear of high-voltage power lines, and perform certification or testing after installation to verify 10 Gigabit connectivity and compliance with Cat6A parameters.
