DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6 - S/FTP - Snagless - Cu - 50cm - black

Future-oriented standards and high-end quality for your network: DIGITUS Category 6 Class E patch cords designed and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications. These patch cords ensure conformity with ISO & EN channel requirements and deliver measured performance up to 250 MHz, including near-end crosstalk (NEXT). The cables feature copper conductors, PoE+ readiness and a molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and latch protection for secure, durable connections. The transparent red connector enables easy identification of Category 6.

Advantages

LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath reduces smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire while maintaining good fire performance. Transparent red, metal-shielded plugs provide quick visual identification of Category 6 cabling and robust shielding. Molded boots with integrated kink protection and latch protection increase connector durability and reduce the risk of accidental damage. PoE+ compatibility allows the cable to support power-over-Ethernet applications.

Key specifications

• Category: Category 6, Class E
• Standards: ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173
• Tested frequency: up to 250 MHz
• Conductor material: Copper (Cu)
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Connector: Transparent red plug with metal shielding

• Boot features: molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and latch protection

How to use

Install the patch cord by inserting the RJ45 connector into the compatible network port until the latch clicks into place. Ensure proper cable routing to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; use the molded boot and strain relief to minimize stress at the connector. For patch panel or switch connections, verify channel compliance and certification after installation if required. The LSZH sheath makes these cords suitable for use in environments with stricter fire-safety requirements.

Recommendations

For reliable network performance, use DIGITUS Category 6 patch cords within a certified Category 6 cabling channel and avoid exceeding recommended bend radii. Choose the transparent red, metal-shielded connector for easy identification in multi-cable installations and confirm PoE+ power budgets before connecting powered devices.
