The Metz Connect patch cable type 13084U0388-E is a fully shielded Cat.6 data cable with a length of 0.3 metres, specifically designed for use in confined spaces and limited installation areas. It features high flexibility and is particularly suitable for VoIP end devices, where reliable and interference-free data transmission is required. The cable is equipped with two shielded RJ45 connectors, featuring a 1-1 wiring configuration, enabling direct connection between two devices. The construction is based on an S/FTP cable type (4x2xAWG 26/7 PIMF) with a PUR-RUB cable jacket, providing high mechanical durability and resistance to external influences.
Applications
This patch cable is intended for use in unshielded and shielded Class E, A systems. It is particularly suitable for environments requiring high mobility and flexibility, such as server rooms, telephone system cabling, or industrial communication technology. The short length of 0.3 m reduces cabling length and minimizes the risk of cable entanglement or mechanical stress.
Functions and Features in Detail
The cable features a very short strain relief boot, protecting the transition between the cable jacket and the RJ45 connector while simultaneously reducing space requirements. The use of AWG 26/7 wires ensures sufficient conductivity with a smaller diameter, enhancing flexibility. The 1-1 wiring enables direct, unaltered data transmission between two end devices without requiring additional configurations or adapters.
Technology Explained Simply
The cable is fully shielded (S/FTP), meaning both individual pairs and the entire cable are shielded. This protects data transmission from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensures stable signal quality, especially in environments with high electromagnetic noise. The PUR-RUB jacket is resistant to mechanical stress, moisture, and chemical influences, extending the cable’s service life. The bending radius of up to 10 mm allows tight bending without damaging the cable, which is advantageous during installation in confined spaces.
Compatibility and Accessories
The patch cable is suitable for use in unshielded and shielded Class E, A systems. It is specifically developed for VoIP end devices requiring high signal quality and low latency. The use of shielded RJ45 connectors ensures optimal shielding and prevents signal interference. No special accessories are required, as the cable already includes all necessary components for direct connection.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply plugging the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding sockets of the end devices. The short strain relief boot and small bending radius facilitate installation in confined spaces, such as patch panels, switches, or telephone systems. The high flexibility and durability of the cable allow for easy installation even under mechanical stress.
Operational Advantages
The patch cable offers significantly longer durability than standard patch cables, as it withstands up to 8500 movement cycles under load. This reduces the need for replacement and maintenance, increasing connection reliability. The use of PUR-RUB jacket and shielded connectors ensures high mechanical and electrical stability, which is particularly beneficial in industrial or professional environments. The special design for VoIP applications guarantees clear, delay-free voice transmission.
