DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6a - S/FTP - Snagless - 1m - yellow - 10pk

The DIGITUS Category 6A Class EA patch cord delivers high-end network performance, meeting ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A specifications. The cable is constructed with copper conductors and a LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and reduced smoke emission. The transparent yellow connector with metal shielding identifies the Category 6A rating and supports PoE+ applications while maintaining performance up to 500 MHz.

Advantages

LSZH outer jacket reduces toxic and corrosive gas release in case of fire and limits smoke density. Molded boot with kink protection and strain relief prevents cable damage and reduces stress on the connector. Integrated latch protection protects the locking tab from breaking. Metal-shielded transparent yellow plug ensures easy identification and improved electromagnetic protection. Designed and tested for Category 6A channel performance including NEXT up to 500 MHz.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one end of the patch cord to the network device or patch panel and the other end to the corresponding port on the switch, router or workstation. Ensure the cable is not sharply bent near the molded boot and avoid tension that can stress the connector. Use the latch protection as intended; press the locking tab fully when inserting and lift gently when releasing. For best performance, install the cable within the specified channel layout and maintain separation from strong electromagnetic sources.

Recommendations

Use this Category 6A patch cord in structured cabling that requires 500 MHz performance and PoE+ support. Choose suitable cable lengths to minimize excess slack and follow installation standards to preserve channel performance.
