This purple patch cord from ALANTEC, 3 meters long, is designed for reliable connection of devices in computer networks. Made to Cat. 6A standard with double S/FTP shielding, it provides high data transmission performance up to 10 Gbps and resistance to electromagnetic interference. The cable is particularly useful in industrial environments or where strong electromagnetic radiation occurs.

Construction and application

The patch cord is designed for both cross-connect connections in distribution points and direct subscriber connections. It uses stranded copper conductors in its construction, providing flexibility and ease of installation. Each pair of conductors is shielded with aluminum foil, and the entire core is additionally braided with a copper mesh – this is crucial for minimizing interference and ensuring stable data transmission. The LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket increases safety by limiting the emission of toxic gases in the event of a fire.

Advantages and benefits

High performance: Category 6A guarantees a bandwidth of up to 10 Gbps (Class EA), allowing support for demanding network applications.
Effective protection against interference: Double S/FTP shielding minimizes the impact of electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring stable data transmission even in difficult conditions.
Safety: LSOH jacket limits the emission of toxic gases during combustion, increasing fire safety.
Durability and reliability: High-quality materials and precise workmanship ensure long-lasting and trouble-free operation of the cable. Tests in the INTERTEK laboratory confirm compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 standards.
Easy identification: The purple color makes it easier to identify the cable in the installation and to sort cables during service work.
Compatibility: The cable is backward compatible with lower category elements (patch panels, RJ45 keystone modules).
Mechanical resistance: Compact construction increases resistance to mechanical damage during installation and to tensile force.
PoE support: Support for 802.3at type 2 (PoE+) standard allows powering network devices via Ethernet cable.
