Networking Cable Telegärtner MP8 FS500 LSZH 0.5m

The Telegärtner MP8 FS500 LSZH 0.5m is a Cat6a networking cable with SF/UTP shielding designed for short connections. It supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and comes with RJ‑45 connectors featuring copper‑plated contacts. The cable jacket and moulded strain relief boot are made of LSZH (Low Smoke, Zero Halogen) material for reduced smoke emissions in enclosed spaces. Available in multiple colours and with options for very short boots, the cable provides fully shielded plug housing on shielded variants and flexible, strain‑relieved construction.

Advantages

The cable offers SF/UTP shielding for improved protection against electromagnetic interference and 360° surround shielding on shielded plug variants for secure connections. Its moulded strain relief boot and flexible design reduce bending stress at the connector, while LSZH materials limit smoke and toxic gas release in case of fire. Multiple colour options and boot variants facilitate organized cable routing and compatibility with tight installation spaces.

Suitable for

• Short interconnections between network devices (patch panels, switches, routers)
• Desk‑side or cabinet connections where 0.5 m length is sufficient
• Indoor installations requiring low smoke, zero halogen materials
• Environments needing shielded cabling to reduce interference

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a
• Shielding: SF/UTP (with 360° plug shielding on shielded variants)
• Connector: RJ‑45 with copper‑plated contacts
• Length: 0.5 m
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Cable jacket and boot material: LSZH (Low Smoke, Zero Halogen) or PVC depending on variant
• Boot options: 90°, 180°, 270° moulded boots, very short boot variants, latch protection

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to your network device and the other to the corresponding port on a switch, patch panel or router. Ensure the correct boot orientation (90°/180°/270°) for space‑constrained installations or use the very short boot variant where clearance is limited. Avoid sharp bends near the connector and route the cable to minimise tensile stress on the strain relief boot.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the shielded variant together with shielded ports and grounded equipment to maintain SF/UTP effectiveness. Select the boot angle and colour that match your installation needs to simplify identification and ensure proper clearance.
