DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6a - S/FTP - Snagless - Cu - 0.5m - black - 10pk

Future-oriented standards and high-end quality for your network: DIGITUS Category 6A Class EA patch cords provide performance tested up to 500 MHz and are designed to meet ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A specifications. The cables use copper conductors and feature a transparent yellow plug with metal shielding for easy identification of Category 6A. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath reduces smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, and the cords are PoE+ ready.

Advantages

These patch cords are manufactured and tested to international channel specifications to ensure compliance and reliable performance. Molded boots include kink protection, strain relief and a latch protection to prevent the latching lever from breaking. Transparent yellow connectors with metal shielding allow quick visual identification of Category 6A cabling. The copper conductor provides stable conductivity, and the LSZH sheath improves fire safety by limiting smoke and halogen release.

Key specifications

• Category: 6A / Class EA
• Test frequency: up to 500 MHz
• Standards: ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173
• Conductor material: Copper (Cu)
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Connector: Transparent yellow plug with metal shielding

How to use

Connect one end of the Category 6A patch cord to the network device and the other end to the patch panel or switch port. Ensure the connector latch clicks into place and that the cable routing avoids sharp bends to preserve the molded boot and kink protection. For installations requiring PoE+, verify device compatibility and power settings before applying power. Follow standard cabling practices and local regulations during installation.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended channel limits and avoid running alongside high-voltage power lines. Use Category 6A patch cords for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and environments where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required. Inspect connectors and boots regularly and replace cords that show visible damage.
