Network Cable Digitus CAT 6 S/FTP RJ-45 1m Red

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6 S/FTP RJ-45 1m Red is a Category 6 patch cord designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in office and home networks. It features S/FTP shielding, copper conductors and a transparent red RJ-45 plug with metal shielding, and is PoE+ ready. The cable meets ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications and is tested up to 250 MHz to ensure compliant channel performance including NEXT (near end crosstalk).

Advantages

The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath improves fire behaviour and reduces smoke emissions. A molded boot with kink protection and strain relief increases connector durability, while an integrated latch protection prevents damage to the latching lever. The transparent red connector with metal shielding allows easy visual identification of Category 6 cables. S/FTP shielding and copper conductors reduce interference and support stable transmission, and the cable is PoE+ ready for powered devices.

Suitable for

• Ethernet network connections in offices and homes
• Switch-to-patch-panel and patch-panel-to-workstation links
• PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones and access points
• Applications requiring Category 6 performance up to 250 MHz

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other RJ-45 plug to the target device (PC, access point, IP phone). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and avoid sharp bends near the molded boot to maintain performance. For installation in cabinets or conduits, route the cable without twisting or compressing the shielded jacket.

Recommendations

For best results, use this CAT 6 S/FTP patch cord within a channel compliant cabling system and avoid excessive bending radii. When installing in environments with high electromagnetic interference, keep shield terminations intact and ground the overall shield according to site practices.
