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

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45, 10 m in yellow is a Cat6A Class EA patch cord designed for future-oriented networks and high-end performance. It features copper conductors, S/FTP shielding and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheathing to ensure low smoke and improved fire behaviour. The cable and connectors are manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A specifications and are PoE+ ready. The transparent yellow RJ-45 plug with metal shielding allows easy visual identification of Category 6A and supports performance up to 500 MHz.

Advantages

The cable provides tested Category 6A performance including NEXT up to 500 MHz and meets ISO & EN channel specification requirements. Its S/FTP construction and copper conductor offer reliable protection against electromagnetic interference, while the LSZH sheath reduces smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire. Molded boots with kink protection, strain relief and latch protection increase connector durability and reduce the risk of damage during installation and use.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections in offices and data centers
• Applications requiring PoE+ device power delivery
• Environments where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required
• Structured cabling that demands Category 6A (Class EA) performance

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connectors into compatible network ports on switches, routers, patch panels or devices. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and avoid sharp bends near the connector; use the molded boot with kink protection for strain relief. For permanent installations, route the cable according to local cabling standards and maintain bend radii recommended for Cat6A cables. Verify network link and performance after installation using appropriate testing equipment if required.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines over long distances and keep the cable within recommended bend radii. Use the yellow color for easy identification in patch panels and cable management systems. Test links after installation to confirm Category 6A performance up to 500 MHz.
