VALUE S/FTP Patch Cord Cat.6 Halogen-Free Grey 0.5m

The VALUE S/FTP Patch Cord Cat.6 Halogen-Free Grey 0.5m is a reliable network cable designed for high-speed data transmission in local area networks. Featuring S/FTP shielding and a halogen-free LSOH jacket, this grey patch cord ensures secure and stable connectivity between network devices such as switches, routers, and patch panels. Built with stranded copper wire and equipped with RJ-45 connectors on both sides, it delivers dependable performance while maintaining flexibility for installations in confined spaces.

Advantages

This Cat.6 patch cord utilizes advanced S/FTP shielding to effectively protect data signals from electromagnetic interference, ensuring a stable and secure connection. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen cable jacket enhances safety by emitting limited smoke and no halogens when exposed to high heat sources. Additionally, the flexible construction supports narrow bending radii, making cable management easier in high-density network racks and wiring cabinets.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers and network peripherals to wall jacks or switches
• Linking network switches, routers, and patch panels within server racks
• High-speed local area network environments requiring reliable Cat.6 performance
• Installations where halogen-free and low-smoke safety standards are mandatory

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for long-distance horizontal or backbone runs, as it is a 0.5-meter patch cord intended for short connections. It may also be less optimal for environments requiring extreme physical resistance to heavy foot traffic or harsh industrial chemicals without additional conduit protection.

Key specifications

• Category 6 Class E performance
• S/FTP shielding with braided shield and PiMF construction
• LSOH halogen-free grey jacket
• Length: 0.5 meters
• RJ-45 connectors on both sides with 1:1 contact settings according to EIA/TIA 568
• 8-wire stranded copper construction with 100 Ohm impedance

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connector of the patch cord into the network port of a device, switch, router, or patch panel until the locking tab clicks securely into place. Ensure the cable is routed neatly without exceeding its minimum bending limits to maintain signal integrity. Disconnect the cable by pressing the locking tab down gently and pulling straight out from the port.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 0.5-meter length is sufficient for the intended distance between devices
• Check that your network infrastructure supports Cat.6 shielded connections
• Confirm whether halogen-free LSOH jacket requirements apply to your installation site

Usage recommendations: For optimal structured cabling performance, pair this patch cord with compatible Cat.6 shielded components such as patch panels and wall jacks, and avoid sharp bends or pinching during installation.
