Belden 10GX Patch Cord S/FTP LSZH, 1m, Grey, Cat6A, 10GbE, Snagless

In a busy data center, a network technician reaches for a patch cord that can handle 10 Gigabit Ethernet without interference. The Belden 10GX Patch Cord S/FTP LSZH is engineered for high-density environments where performance and safety are paramount. This 1-meter Cat6A cable features S/FTP shielding—each pair is individually foiled and the overall cable is braided—to virtually eliminate alien crosstalk, ensuring reliable 10GbE transmission up to 500 MHz. The low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket reduces toxic emissions in case of fire, making it ideal for enclosed spaces. With snagless boots protecting the locking tabs, this grey patch cord is built for frequent moves, adds, and changes.

Why choose it

Belden's 10GX series is trusted in mission-critical networks. The S/FTP construction provides superior alien crosstalk suppression, allowing 10GbE over longer distances compared to unshielded solutions. The LSZH jacket not only meets stringent fire safety regulations but also reduces smoke and corrosive gases, protecting both people and equipment. The snagless boot design prevents accidental disconnections during cable management, ensuring network uptime.

Ideal use cases

• Data center patching between servers and switches
• High-density network cabinets where alien crosstalk is a concern
• Environments requiring low-smoke zero-halogen cabling, such as healthcare or transportation
• 10GBASE-T Ethernet connections up to 100 meters (with appropriate horizontal cabling)

Good to know

This patch cord is part of Belden's 10GX system, which is guaranteed to meet or exceed TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 Class EA channel performance. The cable is suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications up to 100W, thanks to its robust construction and 26 AWG conductors. The grey colour blends seamlessly into most rack environments, and the snagless boots protect the RJ45 locking tabs during installation and removal.
