GETFORT GF-PC6ASFTP-0.25V Cat.6A S/FTP LSOH Patch Cable 0.25m Purple

In a crowded data centre, a network administrator reaches for a short, dependable patch cable to connect a server to a top-of-rack switch. The GETFORT GF-PC6ASFTP-0.25V Cat.6A S/FTP LSOH Patch Cable, just 0.25 metres long in a distinctive purple, is built for exactly this scenario. Its screened and foiled twisted pair construction (S/FTP) provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable 10 Gigabit Ethernet links even in dense rack environments. The low-smoke zero-halogen (LSOH) jacket adds a critical layer of safety, emitting minimal toxic fumes in the event of a fire, making it ideal for enclosed spaces with limited ventilation.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A (Class EA) – supports 10GBASE-T up to 500 MHz
• Shielding: S/FTP (screened/foiled twisted pair) for superior noise immunity
• Jacket: LSOH (low smoke zero halogen) – flame retardant and safer for indoor use
• Length: 0.25 m – perfect for high-density patching and short equipment links
• Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 male, 8P8C, gold-plated contacts
• Conductor: Stranded copper, 26 AWG, for flexibility and durability
• Wiring: TIA/EIA-568B standard
• Colour: Purple – easy identification in complex installations
• PoE support: Compatible with PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ applications

Why choose it

This patch cable is not just a connector; it's a reliability upgrade. The Cat.6A rating future-proofs your network for 10 Gigabit speeds, while the S/FTP shielding minimises crosstalk and external interference, a common issue in high-density racks. The LSOH jacket is a safety feature that cannot be overlooked: in case of fire, it produces very little smoke and no halogen gases, protecting both equipment and personnel. The short 0.25 m length reduces cable clutter and improves airflow, which is crucial for maintaining optimal operating temperatures in server cabinets. The purple colour allows for quick identification, saving time during maintenance or reconfiguration.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting servers to top-of-rack switches in data centres
• High-density patching in structured cabling systems
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in enterprise networks
• PoE-powered devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points
• Environments with strict fire safety regulations (e.g., public buildings, transportation)

Good to know

The cable is fully backward compatible with earlier Ethernet standards, so it works seamlessly with existing Cat5e and Cat6 equipment. The stranded copper conductors offer flexibility, making it easy to route in tight spaces without risk of breakage. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable connections and resistance to corrosion over time. This product is part of GETFORT's professional networking line, designed to meet the demands of modern high-speed networks.
