METZ CONNECT Cat.6A S/FTP Patch Cable RJ45 to RJ45, 1m, Yellow, 10GBase-T, LSZH, Gold Contacts 130845A066-E

Network technicians and IT administrators often need a dependable, high-speed link between patch panels and switches in data centres or office LANs. This METZ CONNECT Cat.6A patch cable delivers exactly that, with a 1-metre length and robust S/FTP shielding to keep 10-Gigabit signals clean even in dense, interference-heavy racks.

Key specifications

• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF) – individually foiled pairs plus overall braid
• Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 male, gold-plated contacts
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s (10GBase-T)
• Length: 1 m
• Colour: Yellow
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Conductor: Copper, AWG 26/7 stranded
• Wiring: TIA/EIA 568B
• PoE support: PoE, PoE+, and 4PPoE (PoE++)
• Standards: ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173, TIA/EIA-568-C.2
• Flammability: IEC 60332-1-2
• Operating temperature: -20°C to +60°C

Why choose it

The S/FTP construction ensures excellent alien crosstalk resistance, making it ideal for high-density 10G deployments. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain reliable connectivity over thousands of mating cycles. The LSZH jacket emits low smoke and no halogen gases in case of fire, improving safety in enclosed spaces. Yellow colour aids quick identification in complex cabling systems.

Ideal use cases

• Data centre patching between servers and switches
• High-speed workstation connections in offices
• PoE device connectivity (IP cameras, wireless access points)
• Structured cabling in industrial environments

Good to know

The cable is fully backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks. Its stranded conductors provide flexibility for frequent moves, while the robust strain relief protects the connectors. Each cable is individually tested to exceed Cat.6A component specifications.
