DIGITUS Patch cable Copper conductor - CAT6a - S/FTP - Snagless - 20m - grey

Future-oriented standards and high-end quality for your network. The DIGITUS Category 6A Class EA patch cord is designed for structured cabling and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A specifications. It delivers performance up to 500 MHz and supports PoE+ applications. The cable uses copper conductors and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) sheath for reduced smoke and improved fire behaviour. The transparent yellow connector with metal shielding makes Category 6A easy to identify.

Advantages

The patch cord provides verified performance up to 500 MHz including near-end crosstalk (NEXT) characteristics. Molded boots include kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector to prevent damage to the plug latch. LSZH sheath reduces toxic and corrosive emissions in case of fire. The copper conductor ensures stable electrical performance and compatibility with PoE+ devices.

How to use

Connect the molded RJ45 plugs to the corresponding sockets on network devices or patch panels, ensuring the latch clicks into place. Route the cable without tight bends and avoid placing it near strong electromagnetic sources to maintain signal integrity. Use the colored transparent connector to quickly verify Category 6A cabling in installation and maintenance tasks.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, install within a compliant Category 6A channel and follow vendor guidelines for maximum patch lengths. Inspect connectors and boots for damage before deployment and avoid excessive pulling force during installation.
