The patch cable from the brand Synergy 21, manufacturer's number S216402, is a data cable of category
Cat6A with a bandwidth of 500 MHz. It is used to connect network devices such as switches, routers, PCs, or network printers in a local area network (LAN). The cable is available in a length of 1 meter and features a grey outer jacket made of
LSZH material (halogen-free, low-smoke), making it suitable for use in enclosed spaces and areas with increased safety requirements. The construction is
S-STP (S/FTP), meaning pair foil and braid shielding, ensuring a high level of protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). The individual conductors have a gauge of
26 AWG, providing sufficient conductivity for operation with PoE technologies (Power over Ethernet).
Applications
This cable is designed for use in professional network infrastructures, particularly in environments requiring high data rates and interference protection. It is suitable for connecting network devices in server rooms, office buildings, IT infrastructures, and applications using PoE technology, such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, or wireless access points. The shielding ensures stable data transmission even in interference-prone environments.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
At both ends of the cable,
RJ45 connectors with strain relief protection are installed, ensuring a secure and mechanically stable connection. The connectors are
long, allowing for better fit in standard network ports. The wiring follows the T568B standard, ensuring compatibility with the majority of network equipment. Each cable is individually tested to ensure compliance with the standards ISO/IEC 11801 Class Ea Channel Link, EN 50173-1, and ANSI/TIA-568-C.2. Packaging is done in a
blister pack from Synergy 21, which protects the cable during transport and storage.
Technology Explained Simply
The cable's shielding consists of a combination of pair foil and braid shielding (S/FTP), effectively shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI). This is especially important in environments with many electrical devices, where interference could affect data transmission. The
LSZH jacket is not only halogen-free but also flame-retardant and low-smoke, increasing safety in case of fire. The
bandwidth of 500 MHz enables data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s over short distances, which is crucial for modern networks with high speed requirements. Support for
PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ allows simultaneous transmission of power and data over the network cable, enabling installation of devices without additional power supplies.
Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is compatible with all devices featuring RJ45 connectors and supporting the standards ISO/IEC 11801 Class Ea and ANSI/TIA-568-C.2. It can be combined with various accessories, such as cable ties, Velcro straps, or cable organizers, to keep cabling neat and organized. Compatible products include cable ties in various lengths and colors, as well as flexible cable organizers that enable structured cable routing.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is done by simply plugging the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on network devices. The long connectors ensure a secure connection, and the strain relief protection prevents accidental disconnection. The minimum bending radius is 60 mm, which should be considered during installation to avoid cable damage. The operating temperature ranges from -20 °C to +75 °C, allowing use in a wide range of environments.
Operational Advantages
The cable provides reliable, interference-free data transmission with high bandwidth. The shielding and use of LSZH material increase safety and cable lifespan. Support for PoE technologies reduces the need for additional power supplies, simplifying installation and improving cost-efficiency. Individual testing of each cable ensures high quality and reliability in use.
