DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6a - S/FTP - Snagless - 3m - black - 10pk

Future-oriented standards and high-end quality for your network. DIGITUS Category 6A Class EA patch cord with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer sheath provides improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions. The transparent yellow plug with metal shielding allows easy identification of Category 6A (500 MHz). Conductor material is copper (Cu) and the cable is PoE+ ready.

Advantages

The patch cord is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A specifications, ensuring channel compliance and reliable performance up to 500 MHz, including NEXT characteristics. Each cable features a molded boot with kink protection and strain relief, plus a latch protection to prevent breakage of the latching lever. The transparent yellow connector simplifies visual identification of Category 6A cabling.
