Network Cable Digitus CAT 6 S/FTP RJ-45 20m Grey

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6 S/FTP RJ-45, 20 m, Grey is a Category 6 (Class E) patch cord designed for modern network installations. It features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, copper conductors, LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer sheath for improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions, and transparent red RJ-45 plugs with metal shielding to allow easy identification of Category 6 performance up to 250 MHz. The cable is PoE+ ready and intended for reliable high-speed Ethernet connections.

Advantages

The cable is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications, ensuring compliance with ISO & EN channel requirements and consistent performance up to 250 MHz including NEXT characteristics. A molded boot with kink protection and strain relief provides mechanical protection, while an integrated latch protection reduces the risk of broken latching levers. The S/FTP shielding and copper conductors improve signal integrity and reduce interference in demanding environments.

Suitable for

• Office and data centre horizontal cabling for Gigabit Ethernet
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as VoIP phones and access points
• Workstation and server connections requiring Category 6 performance

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plugs to the corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices such as switches, routers, patch panels, or network interfaces. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; use the molded boot with kink protection to reduce stress near the connector. For structured cabling, follow channel and patching guidelines to maintain Category 6 performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, deploy this DIGITUS CAT 6 S/FTP patch cord within a properly installed Category 6 channel and avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and maintain bend radius recommendations to preserve signal integrity.
