DIGITUS Patch Cable, CAT6, RJ45 M/M, 5.0m, S-FTP, AWG 27/7, LSZH, black

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6 S/FTP RJ-45, 5 m, is a Category 6 patch cord designed for reliable data transmission in structured cabling. It features an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath, SF/UTP shielding and copper conductors, and is tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications with performance up to 250 MHz. The cable is PoE+ ready and comes in black with RJ-45 connectors on both ends.

Advantages

LSZH sheath provides improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions. SF/UTP (S/FTP) shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for stable signal quality. Transparent, metal-shielded RJ-45 plugs allow quick identification of Category 6 and provide additional contact shielding. Molded boots include kink protection, strain relief and a latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation and operation.

Suitable for

• Interconnections in network cabinets and racks
• Patch panels and switches in office or datacentre environments
• DSL and telephone system wiring where Cat6 performance is required
• PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones and access points

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, patch panel or router) and the other to the endpoint device (computer, IP phone, access point). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends; make use of the molded boot kink protection and strain relief to reduce mechanical stress. For shielded installations, ensure proper grounding of the shield at the equipment or chassis as required by your site grounding practice.

Recommendations

Use this DIGITUS CAT 6 S/FTP patch cord in structured cabling environments requiring Category 6 performance. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize interference. For optimal shielding performance, terminate both ends with compatible shielded connectors or panels and follow local installation and grounding standards.
