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

Future-oriented standards and high-end quality for your network. The DIGITUS CAT 6 S/FTP RJ-45 patch cord in red is 0.5 m long and designed for reliable high-speed data transmission. It features copper conductors, S/FTP shielding to minimise electromagnetic interference, LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions, and a transparent red RJ-45 plug with metal shielding for easy identification of Category 6 (250 MHz). The cable is PoE+ ready and compatible with standard RJ-45 network ports.

Advantages

The cable is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications, ensuring channel compliance and performance up to 250 MHz including near-end crosstalk (NEXT). A moulded boot with kink protection, strain relief and latch protection reduces mechanical stress and prevents damage to the plug latch. The transparent red connector simplifies visual identification in patch panels or cable runs.

Suitable for

• Short interconnections in network racks and patch panels
• Desktop or workstation connections for switches and routers
• PoE/PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones and access points
• Environments requiring low-smoke halogen-free cable sheathing

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connector into the network port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 0.5 m patch cord for short link connections between devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and workstations. Avoid sharp bends near the connector and ensure the moulded boot remains intact to maintain strain relief and latch protection.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference and avoid excessive tensile force. Replace the patch cord if the sheath or connector shows visible damage. Use the red connector for easy identification in multi-cable installations.
