METZ CONNECT 130845A544-E Cat6a S/FTP Network Patch Cable, 15 m, Blue

This 15-meter Cat6a S/FTP network patch cable delivers reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance with a bandwidth of 500 MHz, making it ideal for high-speed data transfer in demanding environments. Each individual pair is foil shielded and the overall cable is braid shielded, providing superior protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The blue LSZH jacket is halogen-free and flame-retardant, ensuring safety in public and office spaces. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure a secure, corrosion-resistant connection for consistent network performance.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding structure (screened foiled twisted pair) offers excellent immunity to EMI/RFI, ensuring stable signal integrity even in electrically noisy environments. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and corrosive gases in the event of fire, making it suitable for use in areas with strict safety regulations. With a length of 15 meters, this cable provides flexibility for connecting devices across rooms or within server racks without signal degradation. The stranded copper conductors offer good flexibility for easy routing and installation.

Suitable for

• 10GBASE-T Ethernet networks and data centers
