ACT Blue 0.5 meter LSZH SFTP CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Blue 0.5m LSZH SFTP CAT6 patch cable is a short, shielded Ethernet lead with RJ45 connectors designed for reliable network connections in confined spaces. Constructed with LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) material and SFTP shielding, the cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and is certified for multiple legacy and modern applications including Ethernet, xDSL, telephony, ISDN, T1, ATM, 100 VG anyLAN and broadband video up to 550 MHz.

Advantages

This CAT6 SFTP patch cable provides stable data transmission for 10/100/1000 Mbps networks while the shielding reduces electromagnetic interference in crowded cable environments. The LSZH jacket minimizes toxic fumes in the event of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations. At 0.5 m length and blue colour, the cable is convenient for short connections and easy identification within patch panels or workspace setups.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between switches, routers and patch panels
• Workstation and server rack cabling where space is limited
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling
• Applications needing shielded pairs to reduce interference (e.g., near power cables)

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices (switch, router, NIC or patch panel). Ensure connectors are fully seated to establish a reliable link. Use this 0.5 m cable for short point-to-point connections; avoid excessive bending or crushing and keep the cable clear of sharp edges. For shielded effectiveness, ensure connected equipment or patch panels provide proper grounding for SFTP shielding.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this ACT CAT6 SFTP cable for internal rack and desk connections where a short, shielded LSZH cable is required; verify grounding of shielded connectors and avoid routing alongside high-voltage power lines to minimize interference.
