Network patch cable Telegärtner MP8 FS 100 LSZH-7.5 yellow – 7.5 m, LSZH

Telegärtner MP8 FS 100 LSZH-7.5 is a 7.5 m yellow network patch cable designed for reliable data and LAN connections in indoor environments. The cable features an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket that limits smoke and hazardous gas emission in case of fire, making it suitable for installations where fire-safety and reduced toxic output are important. It is intended for standard network tasks such as connecting switches, patch panels, routers and other Ethernet-capable devices.

Advantages

The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and corrosive gas release in the event of fire, improving safety in enclosed spaces and areas with stricter building codes. The 7.5 m length gives flexibility for typical rack-to-desk or rack-to-switch connections without excess slack. The yellow jacket provides clear visual identification for network runs and helps with cable management in densely cabled environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in server rooms and wiring closets
• Linking routers, network devices and desktop workstations within offices
• Indoor installations where reduced smoke and toxic gas emission is required
• Structured cabling environments that use color coding for identification

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for indoor use and environments where LSZH properties are required. It is not designed for harsh outdoor exposure, prolonged direct sunlight, or burial unless additional protective conduit is used. For extremely long runs beyond 7.5 m a longer cable or a different installation approach will be necessary to avoid signal loss or excess connectors.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 7.5 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Color: Yellow
• Application: Ethernet / LAN patching

How to use

Route the Telegärtner MP8 FS 100 LSZH-7.5 between the two network ports to be connected, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges. Insert the connectors fully into the switch, patch panel or device ports until they click into place. For best performance maintain appropriate bend radius as specified by the cable class and avoid kinks or crushing. When routing through cable trays or ducts, separate power and high-interference sources to preserve signal integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for your specific rack, desk or equipment layout
• Whether LSZH jacket is necessary to meet local fire or safety regulations
• Color coding scheme in your installation and whether yellow fits your plan
• Environment: indoor use versus need for outdoor-rated or armored cable

Usage recommendations

For organized installations, label both ends and use cable management accessories to maintain clear routing. Inspect connectors for damage before use and avoid excessive bending near the connector boot to ensure long-term, reliable performance.
