Patch Cable Cat.6A LSZH Telegärtner 10 m — shielded Ethernet patchcord

Telegärtner Patch Cable Cat.6A LSZH 10 m is a shielded Ethernet patchcord engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over twisted pair. The 10 metre length and LSZH (low-smoke, halogen-free) jacket make it suitable for structured cabling in data centers, offices and installations where reduced smoke and toxic gas emission is required. The cable features foil and/or braid shielding to maintain signal integrity and reduce electromagnetic interference when connecting switches, patch panels and network devices.

Advantages

This Cat.6A patch cable supports frequencies and performance required for 10GBASE-T applications and is built to maintain signal quality across the full 10 m length. The LSZH jacket reduces the risk from smoke and corrosive gases in confined spaces. Shielding minimizes crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving reliability in environments with dense cabling or nearby electrical equipment. The standardized RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network ports and structured cabling components.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches and servers in data centers
• Patch panel to switch or switch to wall outlet connections in office networks
• Structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise environments
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free materials such as public buildings and confined spaces

When it may not be suitable

This shielded Cat.6A cable is not necessary for simple home networks or installations that operate well below 1 Gbit/s where unshielded Cat5e or Cat6 cables would be sufficient and more cost-effective. Also, if the installation does not require LSZH properties, other jacket materials may offer different mechanical characteristics or lower cost.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A (suitable for 10GBASE-T)
• Length: 10 metres
• Jacket material: LSZH (low-smoke, halogen-free)
• Shielding: full shielded construction to reduce EMI and crosstalk
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Application: patching between network devices, patch panels and switches

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device or switch port and the other end to the patch panel, wall outlet or target device. Ensure connectors are fully seated and clipped to prevent accidental disconnection. Route the cable without tight bends and avoid running it parallel to high-power electrical cables to minimize interference. For installations requiring consistent grounding of shields, follow the site grounding practices and connect shield terminations according to the cabling standard in use.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that Cat.6A performance and 10 m length meet the planned link requirements
• Confirm the need for LSZH jacket material for the installation environment
• Decide if shielded cabling is required based on nearby electrical noise and grounding availability
• Ensure devices and panels accept standard RJ45 shielded terminations

Usage recommendations

Use the shielded Cat.6A LSZH patchcord for critical links where 10 Gbit/s throughput and low-emission jacket properties are needed. Maintain gentle bend radii, secure cable management in racks and panels, and ensure proper grounding of shields when deployed in electrically noisy environments.
