Networking cable Telegärtner MP8 FS500 LSZH Cat6a SF/UTP (S-FTP) 0.5 m Purple RJ-45–RJ-45

Telegärtner MP8 FS500 LSZH Cat6a SF/UTP (S-FTP) 0.5 m Purple RJ-45–RJ-45 is a shielded patch cable designed for short high-speed connections in data centers, server racks and office networks. The cable supports up to 10 Gbit/s and uses RJ-45 male connectors at both ends with copper-plated contacts. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic fumes in case of fire, while the fully shielded construction minimises electromagnetic interference for reliable signal transmission.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat6a performance with SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding for enhanced protection against external noise and crosstalk. Its short 0.5 m length is suitable for tidy interconnects in dense rack environments and between adjacent network devices. Moulded strain relief and flexible construction ensure durable connections and reduced mechanical stress at the connectors. Available in a purple jacket for easy visual identification in patch panels and cable management.

Suitable for

• Short interconnects in server racks and patch panels
• High-speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gbit/s
• Connections between network switches and servers
• Office network workstations where short cable runs are required
• Environments requiring reduced smoke and halogen emission

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: SF/UTP (S-FTP) with 360° plug shielding
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Contact plating: copper-plated contacts
• Moulded boot with strain relief; options for 90°/180°/270° boot angles
• Flexible, strain-relieved design

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port of the devices to be connected, ensuring the latch engages to secure the connection. For shortest cable runs and neat cable management, route the cable through the patch panel or along designated cable channels. Avoid sharp bends near the connector and do not apply excessive pulling force; the moulded strain relief helps protect the termination. The termination follows EIA/TIA 568B sequence for consistent wiring.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat6a cable where short, high-performance links are required and where reduced smoke emission is important. Choose the appropriate boot angle version to prevent strain in tight spaces and to maintain clear cable routing. For best performance, avoid running shielded Ethernet cables in parallel with high-voltage power lines and ensure proper grounding of shielded components where applicable.
