LogiLink Cat.6A S/FTP Ultraflex Patch Cable, GHMT Certified, Red, 0.25 m

Network administrators and IT technicians often need a short, reliable patch cable for connecting servers, switches, and patch panels in high-density racks. The LogiLink Cat.6A S/FTP Ultraflex patch cable in red, with a length of just 0.25 m, is built for exactly those tight spaces where signal integrity cannot be compromised. Its S/FTP shielding (foil around each pair plus an overall braid) provides excellent protection against alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 500 MHz. The GHMT certification confirms compliance with Cat.6A component standards, ensuring dependable performance in demanding environments.

Why choose it

The Ultraflex jacket remains flexible even in cold environments, making it easy to route around corners and through cable management arms without kinking. Because it is only 0.25 m long, it reduces cable clutter and improves airflow in racks, while the red colour allows quick identification of specific links or VLANs. The GHMT certification gives you confidence that the cable meets stringent performance criteria, not just a marketing claim.

Ideal use cases

• High-density patching in server rooms and data centres
• Connecting switches to patch panels in structured cabling
• Short links between network devices in tight spaces
• Colour-coded network segmentation for easier troubleshooting

Good to know

This cable is backward compatible with Cat.5e and Cat.6 networks, so you can use it in existing installations while preparing for future 10G upgrades. The LSZH jacket emits low smoke and no toxic halogens in case of fire, making it suitable for public buildings and enclosed spaces. Always verify that your connectors and patch panels are also Cat.6A rated to achieve full 10G performance.
