DSIT CAT 6 S/FTP LSOH Network Patch Cable, 5 m, Black

CAT 6 network patch cable with S/FTP shielding and LSOH jacket delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 250 MHz, ideal for high-density data centre and office environments. Each pair is individually foiled and the overall cable is braided, providing superior protection against EMI and crosstalk. The low smoke zero halogen jacket ensures minimal toxic emissions in case of fire, meeting IEC 60332-1 safety standards. Pre-terminated with RJ45 male connectors on both ends and wired to TIA/EIA-568B, this 5-metre black cable is ready for immediate deployment in patch panels, switches, and workstations.

Advantages

S/FTP construction offers the highest level of interference immunity among copper twisted-pair cables, making it perfect for installations near power lines or industrial equipment. The LSOH sheath reduces smoke and halogen gases during combustion, enhancing safety in confined spaces like offices, data centres, and public buildings. Backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5, it future-proofs your network without requiring immediate infrastructure upgrades.

Suitable for

• 10GBASE-T Ethernet connections up to 55 metres (Cat 6 specification)
• High-density patch panels and switch-to-server links
• Environments with strict fire safety regulations (LSOH required)

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid bending the cable beyond a radius of 4 times the cable diameter and keep it away from sharp edges. Pair with shielded RJ45 connectors and grounded patch panels to maintain the shielding integrity. This cable is an excellent choice for professional installations where reliability and safety are paramount.
