This S/FTP Cat. 6A patch cord from ALANTEC is a high-quality solution for demanding network installations. It provides stable data transmission at speeds up to 10 Gbps, making it an ideal choice for both professionals and home users. The double-shielded construction minimizes electromagnetic interference, guaranteeing a reliable connection even in challenging conditions. Made from high-quality materials, including copper stranded conductors and LSOH jacket, it offers durability and safety.

Construction and properties

The patch cord features a solid S/FTP construction – each pair of wires is shielded with aluminum foil, and the entire core is additionally braided with a copper mesh. This level of shielding effectively protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk between wire pairs. Additionally, a grounding wire located under the shield increases resistance to interference and ensures a stable connection. The outer jacket made of LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material minimizes the emission of toxic gases in the event of a fire, increasing the safety of the installation and users.

Application and compliance with standards

This Category 6A patch cord is compatible with existing lower category cabling systems, allowing for easy network upgrades without the need to replace the entire infrastructure. It meets the requirements of the ISO/IEC 11801 standard, confirmed by tests in the INTERTEK laboratory in the USA. This guarantees its quality and reliability. It is ideal for:

LAN networks: For connecting computers, servers, switches and other network devices.
Data centers: Where high bandwidth and resistance to interference are critical.
Surveillance installations: For transmitting signals from IP cameras.
Public buildings: Where materials with low toxicity are required in the event of a fire (thanks to the LSOH jacket).
Industrial applications: In environments exposed to strong electromagnetic interference.

The length of 0.25m makes it an ideal solution for short connections in rack cabinets or directly at end devices. The black color makes it easy to identify cables in crowded installations.
