DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6a - S/FTP - Snagless - Cu - 5m - blue

Future-oriented standards and high-end quality for your network: DIGITUS® Category 6A Class EA patch cords deliver Category 6A performance up to 500 MHz with copper conductors and PoE+ support. The cables feature an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and reduced smoke emissions, and a transparent yellow plug with metal shielding for easy identification of Category 6A.

Advantages

These patch cords are manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A specifications, ensuring channel compliance and consistent performance. Each cable includes a molded boot with kink protection and strain relief, plus a latch protector that prevents the latching lever from breaking. The transparent yellow connector simplifies identification in structured cabling environments.

Key specifications

• Category: 6A (Class EA)
• 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+
• Standards: tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173

How to use

Connect the patch cord between network devices and patch panels or switches to establish a Category 6A-compliant channel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages; the molded boot provides strain relief to reduce stress on the conductor. Route the cable without sharp bends to maintain performance up to the specified 500 MHz range.

Recommendations

For optimal channel performance, use DIGITUS® Category 6A patch cords within a cabling system that meets Category 6A installation practice and testing. Avoid excessive pulling force and tight bending radii during installation to preserve shielding and transmission characteristics.
