DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6a - S/FTP - Snagless - Cu - 2.5m - grey

DIGITUS Category 6A Class EA patch cords provide high-end performance for modern networks and are manufactured to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A specifications. The cable features a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) sheath for improved fire behaviour and reduced smoke emissions, a copper conductor and PoE+ readiness. The transparent yellow connector with metal shielding allows quick visual identification of Category 6A (500 MHz).

Advantages

Designed and tested for channel performance up to 500 MHz, these patch cords ensure compliance with ISO and EN channel specification requirements. Each cord has a molded boot with kink protection and strain relief, plus an integrated latch protector to reduce the risk of latch breakage. The metal-shielded transparent yellow plug simplifies identification and supports reliable signal transmission.

Key specifications

• Standard: ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173 Category 6A (Class EA)
• Performance: tested up to 500 MHz (including NEXT)
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Conductor: Copper (Cu)
• Connector: transparent yellow plug with metal shielding
• PoE: PoE+ ready

How to use

Insert the patch cord connectors into the corresponding RJ45 ports on network devices and patch panels until the latch clicks. Ensure the cable is routed without sharp bends to maintain kink protection and strain relief effectiveness. Use the latch protector to avoid accidental damage when connecting or disconnecting.

Recommendations

Use these Category 6A patch cords in structured cabling installations where 500 MHz performance and reduced smoke emission materials are required. For optimal results, pair with Category 6A-compliant cabling and components and avoid tight cable routing that may compromise performance.
