DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6a - S/FTP - Snagless - Cu - 1m - black

DIGITUS Category 6A Class EA patch cords provide high-end performance for modern networks. Constructed with copper conductors and an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath, these patch cords are designed for low smoke emissions and improved fire safety. The connectors are transparent yellow with metal shielding to allow easy identification of Category 6A (500 MHz) cabling and to ensure reliable signal shielding. The cables are PoE+ ready and manufactured to meet ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A specifications.

Advantages

Manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A requirements, these DIGITUS patch cords guarantee compliance with ISO & EN channel specifications and deliver performance up to 500 MHz, including NEXT characteristics. Each cable features a molded boot with kink protection and strain relief, plus a latch protector that reduces the risk of breaking the latching lever. The transparent yellow connector with metal shielding enables quick visual identification of Category 6A cables.

How to use

Connect the DIGITUS Category 6A patch cord between network devices such as switches, patch panels and servers, ensuring secure engagement of the RJ45 connector until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the molded boot provides additional kink protection and strain relief. Use the transparent yellow connector to identify Category 6A links within your cabling infrastructure and verify PoE+ compatibility when powering devices.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, install these patch cords as part of a complete Category 6A cabling system compliant with ISO/EN channel specifications. Avoid running high-voltage power cables parallel and in close proximity to the data cables to reduce EMI. Inspect connectors and sheath for damage before deployment and replace any cable showing visible wear.
