Networking cable Telegärtner L00000A0376 Cat6a patch cable Blue 0.5 m RJ-45–RJ-45

Telegärtner L00000A0376 is a 0.5 m Cat6a patch cable in blue with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for structured cabling and short interconnects in network racks and workstations. The cable follows the Cat6a specification, offering increased bandwidth and improved shielding to support high-speed Ethernet up to 10 Gigabit where short patch lengths are required. Its compact 0.5 m length is intended for tidy connections between switches, patch panels, routers and network devices in dense installations.

Advantages

The shielded construction reduces alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity in environments with many adjacent cables or electrical equipment. The RJ-45 terminations provide standard compatibility with network ports, while the short 0.5 m length minimises clutter in patch bays and helps maintain proper cable management. The cable is suitable for Cat6a performance requirements, enabling reliable data transmission for high-throughput applications over short runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switch ports to patch panels in server racks and telecom cabinets
• Short links between routers, switches and network appliances where 0.5 m length is sufficient
• High-density rack and cabinet environments requiring reduced cable slack
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications over short patch distances

When it may not be suitable

This 0.5 m patch cable is not intended for long-distance runs; use permanent horizontal cabling or longer category-rated cable for connections spanning rooms or floors. If your installation requires unshielded cable types or plenum-rated jackets rather than the specific jacket type fitted to this product, choose an appropriate alternative that matches building codes and environmental requirements.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented Cat6)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Colour: Blue
• Typical application: 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short patch distances

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network ports on switches, patch panels, routers or devices until the latch clicks. Use this 0.5 m patch cable to replace existing short interconnects or to create tidy links in racks and cabinets. Route the cable along cable management channels or tie-down points to avoid sharp bends and to maintain the shielding performance; avoid running parallel to heavy power lines to minimise interference.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length: 0.5 m is suitable for short patch connections only
• Environmental and fire-safety requirements (jacket material and ratings)
• Whether shielded S/FTP construction is required for your installation
• Compatibility with existing RJ-45 ports and patch panel density

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat6a patch cable for short intra-rack connections and maintain gentle bend radii at the connectors. Ensure the cable’s shielding is properly grounded at the equipment or patch panel where required by your network design to maximise interference protection.
