METZ CONNECT BTR 1308457500-E Patch Cable RJ45 Cat.6A AWG26 S/FTP LSOH 7.5m Black

The METZ CONNECT BTR 1308457500-E Patch Cable is a high-performance RJ45 network cable designed for demanding data center and enterprise network environments. With Cat.6A certification, it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) over the full 7.5-meter length, ensuring reliable high-speed data transmission. The S/FTP shielding (screened and foiled twisted pair) provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it ideal for installations near power lines or in industrial settings. The cable features AWG26 stranded copper conductors for flexibility and durability, and a low smoke zero halogen (LSOH) jacket that minimizes toxic fumes in case of fire, complying with strict safety standards. It is fully backward compatible with Cat.6, Cat.5e, and Cat.5 networks.

Advantages

This patch cable offers several key benefits: it supports PoE, PoE+, and 4PPoE (IEEE 802.3af/at/bt) for powering devices like IP cameras and wireless access points; the LSOH jacket ensures safety in enclosed spaces; and the robust S/FTP shielding guarantees error-free data transfer even in electrically noisy environments. The cable is also halogen-free and flame retardant (IEC 60332-1-2), meeting modern building and environmental standards.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms requiring high-speed 10G connections
• Enterprise networks with high EMI environments
