METZ CONNECT Cat.6A S/FTP Patch Cable AWG26 LSZH Grey 0.5m

The METZ CONNECT Patch Cable Cat.6A AWG26 in grey is a high-performance network cable designed for reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. With S/FTP shielding and LSZH jacket, it ensures minimal interference and safety in professional environments.

Advantages

This patch cable offers superior signal integrity and reduced crosstalk thanks to its S/FTP (PiMF) shielding. The AWG26 stranded copper conductors provide flexibility while maintaining excellent conductivity. The snagless molded boot protects the RJ45 connectors during installation and removal.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms requiring high-speed, reliable connections
• Enterprise networks where 10GBASE-T performance is needed
• PoE applications including PoE, PoE+, and 4PPoE (IEEE 802.3af/at/bt)
• Installations where low smoke zero halogen materials are required for safety
