DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6 - S/FTP - Snagless - 50cm - grey - 10pk

Future-oriented standards and high-end quality for your network. The DIGITUS Category 6 (Class E) patch cord features a copper conductor, LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions, and a transparent red plug with metal shielding for easy identification. The cable is PoE+ ready and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications with performance verified up to 250 MHz, including near-end crosstalk (NEXT).

Advantages

The patch cord ensures compliance with ISO & EN channel specification requirements and provides optimum performance for Category 6 installations. A molded boot offers kink protection and strain relief, while an integrated latch protector reduces the risk of latch breakage. The transparent red connector allows quick visual identification of Category 6 cabling.

Key specifications

• Category: 6 (Class E)
• Standards: ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173
• Frequency range: up to 250 MHz
• Conductor material: Copper (Cu)
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)

How to use

Connect the patch cord between compatible RJ45 ports on network devices or patch panels, ensuring the molded boot and latch are aligned to prevent strain on the connector. Use the cable in structured cabling installations where Category 6 performance up to 250 MHz is required. Do not bend the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and avoid excessive mechanical stress at connection points.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, install and test the patch cord as part of a certified Category 6 channel. Store and route cables away from high-power electrical sources to minimize interference. Replace cables that show physical damage or degraded connector integrity.
