The Metz Connect patch cable type 130845A033-E is a fully shielded RJ45 data cable of category 6A, designed for use in bandwidth-intensive networks. It features AWG 26/7 wiring and is available in grey. The cable is GHMT PVP certified and serves for secure connection of network components, transmitting voice, data, audio/video, and PoE signals. It is particularly suitable for unshielded and shielded Class E, A systems.

Applications
This patch cable is used in networks with high bandwidth requirements, such as 10 GBit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3an). It is designed for integration with switches, routers, servers, end devices, and other network equipment. Support for remote powering (PoE, PoE plus, and UPoE) makes it suitable for powering IP cameras, access points, or VoIP phones. Compatibility with HDBaseT extends its application to scenarios requiring high-resolution video and audio transmission over longer distances.

Functions and Features in Detail
The cable features two shielded RJ45 connectors with 1-1 wiring, ensuring direct, unaltered signal transmission. The strain relief boot is molded and includes an integrated latch protection, reducing mechanical stress on the connectors and ensuring a secure connection. The boot has the same width as the RJ45 connector, enabling a uniform and stable connection. The cable is LaBS-free and halogen-free, increasing safety in case of fire and minimizing emission of harmful gases.

Technology Explained Simply
The fully shielded construction (S/FTP) provides high protection against electromagnetic interference (EMV) and crosstalk, improving signal quality and transmission stability in complex network environments. Category 6A guarantees a maximum bandwidth of 500 MHz, enabling 10 GBit Ethernet usage over the entire cable length. The AWG 26/7 wiring offers a balanced combination of flexibility and conductivity. GHMT PVP certification confirms compliance with high quality standards for network cables.

Compatibility and Accessories
The patch cable is suitable for use in Class E and Class A network systems. It can be combined with other patch cables of the same category and construction to extend or connect networks. Compatible variants are available in various lengths (e.g. 2 m, 3 m, 4 m, 5 m, 7 m, 20 m) and colors (black, white, grey, red, blue, yellow, green, orange-black, violet-black, purple-black). The packaging unit includes either a single cable in a poly bag (ending -E) or ten pieces in a poly bag (ending -Z). Additional variants can be configured via a configurator.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply inserting the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding sockets of network devices. The strain relief boot protects the connector from mechanical stress, especially during frequent plugging and unplugging. No tools are required, as the connectors are inserted directly into the sockets. Cable routing is done in the usual manner, taking into account the maximum allowable bending radius and mechanical load.

Operational Advantages
The cable provides reliable and stable signal transmission even in demanding environments. Full shielding minimizes interference, enhancing network performance. Support for PoE and HDBaseT expands functionality and reduces the need for additional power supplies. The halogen-free and LaBS-free design increases safety in use, especially in enclosed spaces or buildings with high safety requirements. The uniform width of connector and boot ensures a clean and professional connection.
