METZ CONNECT 130845D033-E Cat6a S/FTP Network Cable, 40 m, Grey

High-performance Cat6a network patch cable engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over 40 metres. The S/FTP shielding (screened foiled twisted pair) with individually foiled pairs and overall braid screen ensures superior immunity to electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for data centres, industrial networks, and high-density installations where signal integrity is critical.

Advantages

This cable supports bandwidth up to 500 MHz and data rates up to 10 Gbps, future-proofing your network for demanding applications. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket enhances safety by emitting low smoke and no toxic halogens in case of fire, suitable for public buildings and confined spaces. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors provide excellent flexibility for easy routing, while the robust RJ45 connectors with 50 µm gold-plated contacts ensure reliable, corrosion-resistant connections.

Suitable for

• 10GBASE-T Ethernet networks in data centres and server rooms
• Industrial environments with high electromagnetic interference
• Public buildings requiring halogen-free cabling
• Long-distance connections up to 40 metres without signal degradation
• PoE applications up to 4PPoE (PoE++)
