DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6a - S/FTP - Snagless - Cu - 25cm - green

The DIGITUS Patch cord CAT 6A S/FTP DK-1644-A-0025 is a 0.25 m RJ-45 patch cable designed for high-speed network connections. Constructed with copper conductors and S/FTP shielding, it meets ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A (Class EA) requirements and is performance-tested up to 500 MHz. The cable features an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath and a transparent yellow, metal-shielded connector for easy identification of Category 6A. The grey cable jacket provides a professional appearance for installations.

Advantages

Designed and tested to Category 6A standards, this DIGITUS patch cord delivers certified performance up to 500 MHz including NEXT characteristics. The S/FTP shielding and metal-shielded RJ-45 connector reduce electromagnetic interference and support PoE+ applications. The LSZH sheath improves fire safety by emitting low smoke and no halogen gases. A molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and latch protection increases connector durability and reliability in frequent-use environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links (10GBASE-T) and structured cabling installations
• Server rooms, data centers and network cabinets
• PoE/PoE+ powered devices such as access points and IP phones
• Short patch connections between switches and patch panels

How to use

Insert the metal-shielded RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding shielded RJ-45 ports on network devices, ensuring the latch clicks into place. Use the 0.25 m patch cord for short connections between patch panels, switches or network outlets. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that any device or panel shielding is correctly grounded to maintain the S/FTP performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling on the cable; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer and route the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources. Use shielded ports and proper grounding when deploying S/FTP Category 6A patch cords in data centers and professional network environments.
