DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6a - S/FTP - Snagless - 5m - black - 10pk

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45 5m in grey is a high-performance patch cord manufactured to Category 6A (Class EA) specifications. It uses copper conductors and S/FTP shielding to reduce interference and support stable, high-speed data transmission. The cable is PoE+ ready and features a transparent yellow RJ-45 plug with metal shielding for easy identification of Category 6A; the sheath is LSZH for improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions.

Advantages

This Cat 6A patch cord is tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 standards and delivers performance up to 500 MHz, including near-end crosstalk (NEXT) characteristics. Molded boots provide kink protection, strain relief and an integrated latch protector to prevent damage to the latching lever. The S/FTP construction and metal-shielded RJ-45 plug help ensure reliable signal integrity in environments with potential electromagnetic interference.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections in offices and data centers
• PoE+ devices such as IP phones, wireless access points and cameras
• Backbone and horizontal cabling where Category 6A performance is required
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into your network device and the other into a switch, patch panel or outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid placing it close to strong sources of electromagnetic interference. For PoE+ applications verify that connected equipment and power sourcing equipment support the required power class.

Recommendations

Use this Cat 6A S/FTP patch cord for installations that require up to 500 MHz performance and LSZH safety characteristics; replace damaged cables and ensure strain relief is intact to maintain performance.
