METZ CONNECT Cat.6A S/FTP Patch Cable RJ45 to RJ45, 10GBase-T, 0.5m, Grey, LSZH, Gold Contacts 1308455088-E

Engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, this METZ CONNECT patch cable delivers a full 500 MHz bandwidth with S/FTP shielding to eliminate crosstalk and EMI. Gold-plated contacts ensure a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection for demanding network environments.

Overview

The METZ CONNECT Cat.6A patch cable is a high-performance networking solution designed for 10GBase-T applications. It features S/FTP (PiMF) construction, where each twisted pair is individually foil-shielded and the entire bundle is braid-shielded, providing superior protection against alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. The cable is built with stranded 26 AWG copper conductors for flexibility and durability, and it is jacketed in LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material for enhanced fire safety. With a length of 0.5 meters, it is ideal for short connections in data centers, server rooms, or high-density patch panels. The connectors are RJ45 (8P8C) male on both ends, with 50µ" gold-plated contacts that ensure low contact resistance and long-term reliability. The cable is wired to TIA/EIA 568B standard and supports Power over Ethernet up to 4PPoE (PoE++), making it suitable for powering devices such as access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones.
