Digitus CAT 6A F-FTP Bendable Patch Cable Copper 1 m Gray

The Digitus CAT 6A F-FTP Bendable Patch Cable (1 m, gray) is a slim, flexible Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission in confined spaces. Constructed with stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors and HD-PE insulation, the cable meets ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 CAT 6A standards and is tested up to 500 MHz for reliable 10 Gbit/s performance. A molded bendable grommet with strain relief and locking lever protection prevents kinking and protects the plug during repeated use.

Advantages

The angled, slim design allows effortless routing in tight spaces and around corners while the LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire. The cable is PoE+ ready and offers tested parameters such as near-end crosstalk (NEXT) up to 500 MHz. Manufactured to recognized ISO, EN and TIA standards, it provides consistent performance and a service life rated for up to 750 mating cycles.

Suitable for

• Data centers and high-density cabling installations
• Home offices and small office networks
• Patch panels, switches and wall outlets where space is limited

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to your network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the destination device. Route the slim cable through tight spaces or around corners using the bendable grommet to avoid kinks. Ensure wiring follows the EIA/TIA 568B standard and that connectors are fully inserted until the locking lever engages.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends beyond the specified bending radius (15 × OD), keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines to reduce interference, and use within the specified temperature range. The cable is suitable for PoE+ applications when proper power budgets and equipment are used.
