DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6 - S/FTP - Snagless - Cu - 1m - grey

Future-oriented Category 6 patch cord with LSZH sheath and transparent red connector for easy identification. The cable is constructed with copper conductors and is PoE+ ready. It is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 standards and provides performance up to 250 MHz, including measured characteristics such as Near End Crosstalk (NEXT). The connector features metal shielding and a molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and latch protection to reduce the risk of damage during installation and operation.

Advantages

The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath reduces smoke and harmful gas emissions in case of fire. Transparent red, metal-shielded plug simplifies visual identification of Category 6 cables. Copper conductors ensure reliable signal transmission. PoE+ readiness supports devices powered over Ethernet. The molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and latch protection improves durability and handling during repeated use.

Key specifications

• Category: 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)
• Plug: Transparent red with metal shielding
• PoE: PoE+ ready
• Features: Molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and latch protection

How to use

Connect the patch cord between the network device and patch panel or switch, ensuring the plug is fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable without sharp bends to preserve the kink protection and avoid excessive tension at the strain relief. For devices using PoE+, verify that connected equipment supports PoE+ and that power budgets are respected. Inspect the latch and boot before reuse to ensure continued mechanical protection.

Recommendations

Use this Category 6 LSZH patch cord in structured cabling installations that require up to 250 MHz performance and low-smoke materials, such as offices, data centers and public buildings where fire safety regulations favor LSZH cabling.
