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

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6 S/FTP RJ-45 0.25m in red is a short patch cord designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling systems. It features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, copper conductors for consistent signal quality, and transparent red RJ-45 plugs with metal shielding for easy identification as Category 6 (up to 250 MHz). The cable has an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and reduced smoke emissions and is PoE+ ready.

Advantages

This Category 6 patch cord is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 specifications and delivers performance tested up to 250 MHz, including near end crosstalk (NEXT). Molded boots with kink protection, strain relief and latch protection increase connector durability and reduce the risk of latch breakage. The S/FTP shielding and copper conductor ensure stable signal transmission and lower interference in demanding network environments.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in data cabinets and patch panels
• Workstation and office network connections
• PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones and access points

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connector into corresponding RJ-45 ports on network devices, patch panels or switches until the latch clicks. Use the 0.25 m length for short patching runs within racks or between adjacent equipment. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid sharp bends at the cable entry; the molded boot provides kink protection and strain relief to preserve performance.

Recommendations

For best performance, route the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid excessive bending or tensile stress. Use the red connector for clear visual identification of Category 6 links in patch panels and cable management systems.
