DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6a - S/FTP - Snagless - Cu - 50cm - yellow

The DIGITUS Patch cord CAT 6 S/FTP DK-1644-005/Y is a 0.5 m networking cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission. It features S/FTP shielding, copper conductors and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and reduced smoke emission. The transparent red-coloured RJ-45 plug with metal shielding identifies the cable as Category 6 (250 MHz) and the cable is PoE+ ready.

Advantages

Manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications, this patch cord guarantees compliance with ISO and EN channel requirements and delivers performance tested up to 250 MHz including NEXT characteristics. Each end is fitted with a molded boot providing kink protection, strain relief and a reinforced latch protector to prevent lever breakage. The yellow cable jacket allows easy identification in patch panels and cable runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and network outlets within structured cabling systems
• High-speed Ethernet links up to Category 6 (250 MHz)
• Environments requiring LSZH cabling for improved fire safety
• PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones and access points

Key specifications

• Length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: S/FTP
• Conductor material: Copper (Cu)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Category: Cat6 / Class E, tested to 250 MHz
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: Yellow (transparent red connector for Category 6 identification)
• PoE: PoE+ ready

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connectors into matching ports on network devices, switches or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks and route the cable to avoid sharp bends; the molded boot provides kink protection. For structured installations, use the yellow cord to mark specific connections or device groups as required by your cabling plan.

Recommendations

For optimum performance, keep cable runs within recommended horizontal cabling lengths and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines. Use this Cat6 S/FTP patch cord in environments that require low-smoke, halogen-free cabling and when PoE+ power delivery is needed.
