ACT Blue 0.5 meter LSZH SFTP CAT6A patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Blue 0.5 meter LSZH SFTP CAT6A patch cable (model IB5300) is a short, high-performance network cable with RJ45 connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transmission in compact setups, this blue 0.5 m cable uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and an LSZH jacket to limit smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire. The cable is compatible with CPR Euroclass Eca.

Advantages

LSZH jacketing minimizes toxic and corrosive gas release during combustion, making the cable safer for use in poorly ventilated environments. S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against external interference and crosstalk compared with unshielded cables. The short 0.5 m length is suitable for tidy, close-proximity connections and reduces cable slack in dense networking setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and network devices in racks or workstations
• Short runs between devices in tight spaces (0.5 m)
• Installations in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces such as trains, aircraft interiors and vehicles
• Professional CAT6A networking where shielding is required

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices (switch, patch panel, NIC). Ensure connectors click into place to secure the connection. Use this 0.5 m patch cable for short, direct connections to avoid excess cable management. Avoid tight bends near the connector to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

Prefer LSZH cables like this ACT CAT6A patch cable in confined or poorly ventilated environments. For longer runs select appropriately rated CAT6A cables and maintain proper routing to preserve shielding effectiveness.
