EFB Elektronik RJ45 Patch Cable Cat.6 S/FTP LSZH Draka UC900 TM21 Crossover Red 0.5m

The EFB Elektronik RJ45 Patch Cable Cat.6 S/FTP LSZH Draka UC900 TM21 Crossover Red 0.5m is a high-performance crossover cable designed for direct device-to-device connections without a switch. Manufactured by EFB Elektronik, this cable features robust S/FTP shielding and a low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket, making it ideal for environments where safety and signal integrity are paramount.

Advantages

This crossover cable eliminates the need for a hub or switch when connecting two computers or network devices, simplifying setup and reducing costs. The S/FTP shielding provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring reliable data transmission. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and fumes in case of fire, making it suitable for use in public areas, schools, and hospitals.

Suitable for

• Direct connection between two PCs or laptops
• Connecting two switches or routers without a crossover port
• Network installations in environments requiring low smoke and halogen-free materials (e.g., tunnels, aircraft, data centers)
• High-density patching areas where space is limited
