DIGITUS Patch cable Copper conductor - CAT6 - S/FTP - Snagless - 25cm - black - 10pk

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6 S/FTP RJ-45 0.25 m in grey is a Category 6 patch cord designed for structured cabling and high-speed network connections. Manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications, this 0.25 m S/FTP cable offers copper conductors, PoE+ readiness and a transparent red, metal-shielded RJ-45 plug for easy identification of Category 6 performance up to 250 MHz.

Advantages

The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath ensures improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions. S/FTP shielding and copper conductors minimise interference and support stable data transmission. The moulded boot provides kink protection, strain relief and a latch protection to prevent the latching lever from breaking. The connector’s transparent red colour allows quick visual identification of Category 6 cabling.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in server rooms and network cabinets
• Patch panels and switches requiring Category 6 (250 MHz) performance
• PoE+ powered devices such as access points and VoIP phones
• Environments where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of a switch, patch panel or device and the other plug to the corresponding port. Ensure proper seating of the connector until the latch clicks and avoid sharp bends close to the connector; use the moulded boot for strain relief. For best performance follow standard installation practices for Category 6 cabling and keep cable runs free from strong electromagnetic interference sources.

Recommendations

For reliable Category 6 performance keep the cable length within recommended patch distances and avoid tensile stress. Use in combination with Category 6 compliant components (patch panels, keystones, switches) to maintain end-to-end channel performance.
