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

The Patch Cable Digitus CAT 6A class Ea F/FTP 3m Red is a slim, shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for 10 Gbit/s transmission and tested up to 500 MHz. It uses twisted pair copper conductors with F/FTP shielding to reduce interference and is equipped with RJ-45 connectors plated for improved conductivity. The 3 m red LSZH jacket combines flexibility with low-smoke, halogen-free material suitable for indoor installations, data centers, high-density racks and home offices.

Advantages

The cable’s slim and flexible design allows easy routing in confined and high-density environments. Manufactured to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 CAT 6A standards, it meets channel specifications and provides reliable performance including tested near-end crosstalk (NEXT) characteristics. Each cable includes a molded anti-kink sleeve with strain relief and locking lever protection to prevent plug damage.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server cabinets
• High-density networking installations
• Home offices and professional workplaces
• PoE+ powered devices

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your switch, patch panel or device and the other plug to the corresponding port. Route the slim cable through cable management or narrow spaces as needed; the flexible jacket and anti-kink sleeve help maintain connector integrity. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab engages. For PoE+ devices verify that the switch or injector supports the required power class.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid excessive bending or tight radius bends near the connectors, maintain separation from strong electromagnetic sources where possible, and follow structured cabling practices in rack and cabinet installations. Use the 3 m length for short patch connections between equipment in the same rack or between adjacent racks.
