Netværkskabel METZ CONNECT Cat6A 5 m sort

The METZ CONNECT Cat6A networking cable, 5 meters long in black, is a fully shielded Cat.6A patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission. It features two shielded RJ45 connectors with 1:1 pin assignment and an S/FTP 4x2xAWG 26/7 PIMF cable construction with LSHF (LSOH) halogen-free sheath. The cable is certified to relevant standards and is suitable for use in shielded and unshielded Class EA systems, supporting up to 10 GBit Ethernet and remote powering protocols.

Advantages

Fully shielded S/FTP design minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable signal integrity up to 500 MHz. The AWG 26/7 conductor and shielded RJ45 connectors provide reliable mechanical and electrical performance. The halogen-free LSHF sheath reduces toxic emissions in case of fire, while the snagless boot with integrated lever protection prevents connector damage during installation. Certified to ISO/IEC 11801 Ed.2.2 and IEC 61935-2 and tested to GHMT standards, the cable meets industry requirements for Cat.6A deployments.
