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

Future-oriented standards and high-end quality for your network. The DIGITUS Category 6 Class E patch cord features a copper conductor and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and reduced smoke emissions. The transparent red colored plug with metal shielding allows quick identification of Category 6 (250 MHz) cables. The cable is PoE+ ready and designed to meet ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications.

Advantages

Manufactured and tested to Category 6 standards, this patch cord ensures channel compliance with ISO and EN requirements and provides performance up to 250 MHz, including NEXT characteristics. The cable includes a molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and a latch protection to prevent the locking tab from breaking. Transparent red connectors simplify identification in installations.
