DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6 - S/FTP - Snagless - Cu - 2m - blue

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6 S/FTP RJ-45 2m in grey is a Category 6 Class E patch cord engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission up to 250 MHz. It features copper conductors, S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable is PoE+ ready and uses an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer sheath to improve fire behaviour and minimize smoke emissions.

Advantages

The cable is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications, ensuring compliance with ISO & EN channel requirements and providing consistent performance characteristics including NEXT (near end crosstalk). A transparent red, metal-shielded plug enables visual identification of Category 6 and adds mechanical shielding; molded boots provide kink protection, strain relief and latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage.

Suitable for

• Structured network cabling in offices and homes
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network devices
• Power over Ethernet applications up to PoE+
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 6 (Class E), ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173
• Bandwidth: up to 250 MHz
• Conductor: Copper (Cu)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, transparent red metal-shielded plug
• Length: 2 m
• Colour: Grey
• PoE: PoE+ ready

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connectors into compatible network ports on devices such as switches, routers, patch panels or network interface cards until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; use the molded boot with kink protection to reduce stress at the connector. Ensure both ends are fully seated and test the link with appropriate network testing equipment if required.

Recommendations

For best performance maintain bend radii recommended for Category 6 cabling, avoid running the cable parallel to strong electrical sources, and follow local installation and fire-safety regulations when using LSZH-rated cables.
