Digitus CAT 6A F-FTP Bendable Patch Cable Copper 0.5m Gray

Digitus CAT 6A F-FTP Bendable Patch Cable Copper 0.5m Gray is a slim, flexible network patch cable for 10 Gbit/s transmission and up to 500 MHz frequency. The cable uses F-FTP shielding and stranded copper conductors for reliable signal integrity and is suited for high-density installations where space is limited. The molded bendable grommet with strain relief and locking lever protection prevents kinking and protects the RJ45 plug during repeated use.

Advantages

The cable's angled and slim design allows effortless routing in tight spaces and around corners. It is manufactured to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 CAT 6A standards and tested for parameters such as NEXT up to 500 MHz. The outer jacket is LSZH for reduced smoke and halogen emissions, and the connector assembly supports PoE+ applications while ensuring a long service life.

Suitable for

• Data centers and high-density patch panels
• Office and home office network connections
• Environments requiring PoE+ power delivery

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to your switch, patch panel or network device and the other end to the corresponding port. Route the slim cable along racks, under floors or through cable trays, using the bendable grommet to guide the cable around tight corners without kinking. Ensure the locking lever is properly seated in the port to secure the connection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends beyond the specified bending radius, maintain separation from strong electromagnetic interference sources, and verify connections after installation. The cable is PoE+ ready; confirm device compatibility and power budget before use.
