Digitus CAT 6A F-FTP Slim patch cable 10 m gray

DIGITUS Slim Cat6A F/FTP patch cable, 10 m, grey — a slim, flexible Ethernet cable designed for high-speed networks. The cable supports 10 Gbit/s transmission and is rated up to 500 MHz, meeting ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173 channel specifications. Its reduced outer diameter and flexible LSZH jacket make it suitable for confined spaces, data centers, high-density racks and home offices. Each cable is equipped with a molded anti-kink sleeve with strain relief and a locking lever protection to prevent plug damage.

Advantages

The slim outer diameter (approx. 3.8 mm) and flexible construction allow easy routing in tight spaces and dense cable installations. F/FTP shielding and compliance with Cat6A standards ensure stable 10 Gbit/s performance and controlled near-end crosstalk up to 500 MHz. The LSZH jacket offers low smoke and halogen-free properties, and the molded sleeve with strain relief reduces the risk of connector failure during installation and use.

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs to the corresponding RJ45 ports on your network devices following the EIA/TIA 568B wiring standard and ensure a straight 1:1 pin assignment. Route the slim cable through cable trays, conduits or between patch panels as required, observing the minimum bending radius (15 × OD) to avoid damage. The LSZH jacket and molded strain relief sleeve help during installation in confined or populated areas. The cable is suitable for typical Ethernet applications such as 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T and 1000BASE-T, and supports PoE power delivery when used with compatible equipment.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress near the connectors, maintain channel compliance by using compatible Cat6A components, and verify cable performance in high-density installations or data center environments using appropriate test equipment.
