DIGITUS Slim Patch cable - CAT6A - F-FTP - 3m - Green

Patch Cable Digitus CAT 6A class Ea F/FTP 3m Green is a shielded network patch cable designed for high-speed data transfer up to 10 Gbit/s and tested up to 500 MHz. The 3 m cable uses F/FTP shielding and twisted pair copper conductors with plated RJ‑45 connectors. Its slim, flexible jacket and LSZH material make it suitable for installations in confined spaces and indoor environments where low smoke and halogen-free properties are required. The molded anti-kink sleeve with strain relief and locking lever protection reduces the risk of connector damage during installation.

Advantages

The cable combines a slim, flexible design with high transmission performance conforming to CAT 6A (class Ea) standards. Shielding (F/FTP) minimizes electromagnetic interference while plated RJ‑45 connectors provide reliable conductivity. The LSZH jacket offers low smoke and halogen-free characteristics for safer indoor use. A molded anti-kink sleeve with strain relief and locking lever protection prevents kinking and protects the plug latch.

Suitable for

• Data centers and high-density rack environments
• Home offices and office cabling requiring 10 Gbit/s
• Short to medium horizontal patch runs (3 m length)
• Installations where reduced cable diameter and flexibility are needed

Key specifications

• Standard: CAT 6A (class Ea), ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Frequency: tested up to 500 MHz
• Shielding: F/FTP
• Connectors: RJ‑45 – plated (bronze/gold)
• Length: 3 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (low smoke, halogen-free)
• Color: Green

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network device (switch, patch panel or network interface) and the other plug to the corresponding port. Route the slim patch cable through cable management or tight spaces as needed; the flexible jacket and small outer diameter facilitate installation. Ensure that the locking lever snaps into place to secure the connection and avoid excessive bending at the connector strain relief.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its 3 m length for horizontal patching in CAT 6A installations and maintain bend radii recommended for Ethernet patch cords. Avoid sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress; keep shield terminations intact and connect to properly grounded equipment when using shielded (F/FTP) cabling.
