ACT Grey 0.25 meter LSZH SFTP CAT6A patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Grey 0.25m LSZH SFTP CAT6A IB4052 patch cable is a short, shielded Ethernet lead designed for reliable high-speed network connections. With S/FTP (overall foil with individually braided drains around twisted pairs) shielding and high-quality RJ45 connectors, this 0.25 meter cable supports CAT6A performance for short-distance links in congested or electrically noisy environments. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket reduces the release of toxic gases and dense smoke in case of fire, making the cable suitable for indoor installations where safety and reduced emissions are important. The cable meets CPR Euroclass Eca requirements for construction products.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP shielding provides robust protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, helping to maintain stable data throughput and signal integrity in environments with multiple nearby cables or electronic equipment. The compact 0.25 m length is well suited for patching within racks, connecting adjacent devices, or creating tidy short links without excess cable slack. The LSZH jacket improves fire safety in poorly ventilated spaces by emitting less smoke and halogenated gases compared with PVC-sheathed cables. Standard RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network ports and switches.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in server racks and patch panels
• Linking nearby network devices such as switches, routers and NICs
• Indoor installations where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required
• Environments with high EMI where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A
• Length: 0.25 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil plus individually braided shielding around pairs)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Connector type: RJ45
• Construction class: CPR Euroclass Eca

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network port of a switch, patch panel or device and the other plug to the corresponding port of the connected device. Use this 0.25 m patch cable for short, direct links to minimize cable slack and improve rack neatness. Ensure connectors are fully seated and locked in place; no special tooling is required for use. For best performance, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable and route it separately from heavy power lines when possible.

Recommendations

Use the ACT 0.25m LSZH S/FTP CAT6A patch cable for short internal connections in data cabinets, network racks and office setups where space is limited and reduced smoke/halogen emissions are desired. Avoid outdoor use or exposure to direct sunlight and moisture. For long runs or outdoor installations select appropriate outdoor-rated or longer-length cabling.
