DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6a - S/FTP - Snagless - Cu - 3m - blue

Future-oriented standards and high-end quality for your network: DIGITUS® Category 6A Class EA patch cords provide shielded connectors and LSZH sheath for improved fire behaviour and reduced smoke emissions. These patch cords are suitable for high-performance structured cabling and support data transmission up to 500 MHz with PoE+ readiness.

Advantages

Shielded transparent yellow plug allows quick identification of Category 6A and provides metal shielding for improved EMI protection. LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath reduces toxic and corrosive gas emissions in case of fire. Molded boot with kink protection and strain relief increases mechanical durability, while integrated latch protection prevents breakage of the latching lever. Copper conductor ensures reliable signal transmission.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the patch cord between compatible RJ45 ports in your structured cabling system, ensuring the connectors engage fully until the latch clicks. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid excessive pulling to preserve the kink protection and strain relief. Use the yellow transparent connector to identify Category 6A links during installation and maintenance. Verify channel performance within the ISO/EN channel specification requirements when integrating into certified installations.

Recommendations

For optimal network performance, use DIGITUS® Category 6A patch cords together with Category 6A components and certified cabling infrastructure, and perform channel testing after installation to confirm compliance up to 500 MHz.
