DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6a - S/FTP - Snagless - Cu - 0.25m - grey - 10pk

The DIGITUS Category 6A S/FTP patch cord (0.25 m) provides future-oriented standards and high-end quality for network cabling. It features an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions, copper conductors and PoE+ readiness. The transparent yellow coloured RJ-45 plug with metal shielding makes Category 6A (500 MHz) cables easy to identify. The plug is fitted with a molded boot that includes kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector to prevent the latching lever from breaking.

Advantages

The cable is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A specifications, ensuring compliance with ISO & EN channel requirements and delivering performance tested up to 500 MHz, including NEXT (near end crosstalk). S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference, supporting reliable high-speed 10/100/1000Base-T(X) connections. The short 0.25 m length and grey colour make the cord suitable for tidy patching in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and network switches in data cabinets
• Short connections between devices in server rooms and telecommunication racks
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones and access points
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the device and the other into a switch, patch panel or router port. Ensure the latch clicks into place to secure the connection. Use the short 0.25 m cord for direct patching where short, neat links are required; avoid sharp bends at the connector boot and do not stretch the cable beyond its intended routing to preserve performance and the integrity of the LSZH sheath.

Recommendations

For best performance, install DIGITUS Cat 6A patch cords within channels certified to Cat 6A/Class EA and avoid running the cable parallel to power lines. Use this 0.25 m length for short patching inside racks or between adjacent ports to minimise excess cable and maintain airflow in server cabinets.
