Network Cable Digitus CAT 6 S/FTP RJ-45 0.5m Blue

The DIGITUS Category 6 S/FTP patch cord, 0.5 m in length, offers a shielded twisted-pair design with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications, providing performance up to 250 MHz and ensuring compliance with ISO & EN channel requirements. The cable uses copper conductors, is PoE+ ready and features a LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and reduced smoke emission. The connector is transparent red and metal-shielded for clear identification of Category 6 and reliable shielding; the cable in this variant is blue.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction and metal-shielded RJ-45 plugs reduce electromagnetic interference and support consistent data transmission up to 250 MHz. LSZH jacket material minimizes halogen emission and smoke in case of fire. Molded boots provide kink protection, strain relief and a latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during handling. The cord is PoE+ ready and uses copper conductors for reliable power and signal delivery.

Suitable for

• Horizontal patching between switches and patch panels in structured cabling
• Connecting network devices such as computers, routers and VoIP phones
• Office and data center environments where Category 6 performance is required

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into a switch, patch panel or router. Ensure connectors click into place and that the molded boot and latch protection are not obstructed. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling on the cable; route the cable along cable management paths to prevent strain. For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for patch cords and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m DIGITUS CAT 6 S/FTP patch cord for short patching distances where Category 6 performance and enhanced shielding are required. Select LSZH jacketed cables for installations in confined or public spaces where low smoke emission is preferred.
