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

Future-oriented standards and high-end quality for your network. The DIGITUS Category 6A Class EA patch cords are manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A specifications. They provide channel compliance up to 500 MHz and are suitable for high-performance Ethernet applications, offering copper conductors and PoE+ compatibility. Each cable features a molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector. The transparent yellow connector allows quick identification as Category 6A.

Advantages

LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer sheath ensures improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions. Transparent yellow plug with metal shielding enables easy visual identification and robust EMI protection. Tested performance up to 500 MHz, including NEXT characteristics, guarantees reliable data transmission for demanding network environments. Molded boot with kink protection and strain relief reduces the risk of connector damage and improves durability.

Key specifications

• Standard: ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173 Category 6A (Class EA)
• Frequency performance: up to 500 MHz
• Conductor material: Copper (Cu)
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Connector: transparent yellow plug with metal shielding
• PoE support: PoE+
• Features: molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and latch protector

How to use

Connect the patch cord between network ports such as switches, routers or patch panels ensuring the latch engages securely. Route the cable without sharp bends to maintain the kink protection and strain relief effectiveness. Use appropriate cable management (trays, ties or channels) to prevent mechanical stress and preserve the specified performance up to 500 MHz. The transparent yellow connector simplifies identification of Category 6A links during installation and maintenance.

Recommendations

For optimal system performance, use these Category 6A patch cords within a channel that meets ISO/EN Category 6A requirements and avoid excessive bending or crushing. Verify PoE budget and device compatibility when deploying PoE+ powered equipment.
