VALUE S/FTP Cat.6a Patch Cord, LSZH, Grey, 10 m

The VALUE S/FTP Cat.6a Patch Cord, LSZH, Grey, 10 m is a reliable networking cable designed to support high-speed data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbit/s and a bandwidth of 500 MHz. Measuring 10 metres in length, this grey patch cord features double shielding with PiMF construction and an LSZH jacket for enhanced safety in home and office environments. It is engineered with moulded kink protection and flexible cabling to ensure durability and ease of installation even in confined spaces.

Advantages

This network cable provides robust protection against electromagnetic interference thanks to its paired aluminium foil shielding and complete braided shielding. The moulded kink protection prevents cable damage during frequent handling, while the flexible design allows for narrow bending without compromising performance. Additionally, the low smoke zero halogen jacket contributes to improved safety in enclosed spaces by reducing toxic gas emissions in the event of fire.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches and routers
• Setting up high-speed structured cabling systems in homes and offices
• Linking network peripherals over a distance of 10 metres
• Establishing stable 10 Gbit/s Ethernet connections

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be suitable for outdoor installations or industrial environments where resistance to moisture, extreme temperatures, or UV radiation is required. It is also not intended for very long-distance cable runs exceeding standard patch cord recommendations without proper active network extension.

How to use

To use the patch cord, simply plug one RJ-45 connector into a network port on your computer, router, switch, or other network device, and insert the other connector into the corresponding port of the receiving device or wall jack. Ensure the connectors click securely into place. Route the cable carefully along walls, desks, or through cable management trays, avoiding sharp bends beyond the cable's flexibility limits to maintain optimal signal integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a 10-metre length is appropriate for your specific distance requirements
• Check that your network hardware supports Cat.6a standards to achieve maximum performance
• Ensure the grey colour matches your aesthetic or cable organization requirements
• Confirm that an LSZH jacket meets your indoor safety standards

Usage recommendations: Handle the cable with care during installation and avoid excessive pulling or sharp bending. Keep the connectors clean and free from dust to ensure a reliable and stable network connection over time.
