DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6a - S/FTP - Snagless - Cu - 7m - blue

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6A S/FTP (7 m) with RJ-45 to RJ-12 connectors is a shielded patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission up to 500 MHz. It uses copper conductors and a LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath to reduce smoke and hazardous gases in case of fire. The transparent yellow RJ-45 plug with metal shielding identifies Category 6A and supports PoE+ applications while offering robust strain and latch protection.

Advantages

The cable is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A/Class EA specifications, ensuring channel-compliant performance including NEXT (near end cross talk) up to 500 MHz. The S/FTP shielding minimizes external interference and crosstalk. A molded boot provides kink protection and strain relief, and a latch protector reduces the risk of connector damage. Copper conductors and PoE+ readiness make the cable suitable for demanding network setups.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in offices and data centers
• High-speed Ethernet connections (up to Cat6A performance)
• PoE/PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones, cameras, and wireless access points
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling

Key specifications

• Length: 7 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-12
• Cable type: S/FTP (shielded foil + braided shield with overall sheath)
• Conductor: Copper (Cu)
• Standards: ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173 Category 6A / Class EA
• Frequency range: up to 500 MHz
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Color: Blue (with transparent yellow RJ-45 plug)
• PoE: PoE+ ready

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 end to your network switch, patch panel or router and the RJ-12 end to compatible telephony or other RJ-12 devices as required. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages; the molded boot and latch protector reduce strain and risk of breakage. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference to maintain optimal shielding performance.

Recommendations

For best long-term performance, avoid excessive bending radii, keep the cable clear of high-voltage power lines, and verify compatibility of RJ-12 termination with the target device. Use in installations requiring low smoke and halogen-free materials where fire safety standards demand LSZH cabling.
