HellermannTyton Connectivity Category 6A, 5 m Cat6a Ethernet Cable, Grey Straight to Male Straight Male, Shielded Low

HellermannTyton Connectivity Category 6A Series Ethernet Cable, 5m Cable Length, Grey Jacket - RJ45C6AGY-5.0M

This ethernet cable provides shielded copper connectivity for high-speed LAN links in installations where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required. It connects two devices using straight RJ45 terminations and is intended for environments needing enhanced electromagnetic protection and a neutral-coloured jacket for unobtrusive routing.

Features and Benefits:

• Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference for stable links
  Supports Cat6a performance for 10Gbps network throughput
  Low Smoke Zero Halogen sheath limits toxic emissions during fire
  Straight-to-straight male connectors enable easy patching between ports
  Grey jacket assists discrete installation in commercial spaces

Applications

• Suitable for data centre patch panels and switch ports
  Ideal for industrial control room network segments
  Used with high-density office LAN infrastructures
  Can be used for backbone links requiring cable screening
  Suitable for managed cabling where LSZH is mandated

What connector genders are provided for typical port-to-port connection?

Both ends use male RJ45 terminations configured as straight connectors for direct port-to-port mating.

How long is the cable and how does that affect deployment?

The lead measures 5m which permits flexible placement between racks or desks without excess slack.

What material is used for the outer sheath and why choose it?

The jacket is manufactured from an LSZH compound to reduce smoke and corrosive gases during combustion.

How is the cable categorised for network performance tiers?

It conforms to Cat6a specification suitable for Class E cable performance in 10Gbps Ethernet links.
