DSIT Cat 6 S/FTP LSOH Patch Cable, 0.25 m, Grey

High-speed networks demand reliable, low-latency connections, especially in dense environments where interference can cripple throughput. This DSIT Cat 6 patch cable delivers exactly that: a short, shielded link engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances. Its 0.25-metre length is perfect for tidy patching between adjacent ports in racks, wall outlets, or devices, eliminating excess cable clutter while maintaining signal integrity.

Who is it for

IT professionals, network administrators, and home users who need a robust, short patch lead for high-density setups. It is ideal for data centres, server rooms, and structured cabling systems where space is at a premium and performance cannot be compromised. The LSOH jacket makes it suitable for public buildings, offices, and any environment where fire safety and low smoke emission are critical.

Main features

• Cat 6 performance with S/FTP shielding: each pair is foiled, and the overall cable is braided, providing excellent protection against EMI and crosstalk.
• Supports 10GBASE-T up to 55 metres and 1000BASE-T up to 100 metres (this 0.25 m length is well within limits).
• LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket: emits low smoke and no toxic halogens when exposed to fire, meeting IEC 60332-1, IEC 61034-2, and IEC 60754-2.
• Gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure reliable, corrosion-resistant contacts for consistent connectivity.
• Stranded 26 AWG copper conductors offer flexibility for frequent re-patching without breakage.
• Backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks.

Tips

For best performance, keep the cable away from power lines and sources of electromagnetic interference. When patching in high-density panels, use short cables like this to reduce signal degradation and improve airflow. Always verify that both connected devices support the desired speed; this cable will not bottleneck your network.
