Network Cable Digitus CAT 6 S/FTP RJ-45 5m Black

Future-oriented standards and high-end quality for your network: DIGITUS Category 6 Class E patch cords offer ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 compliant performance up to 250 MHz. The cables are copper conductor patch cords with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer sheath for improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions, and feature transparent red connectors with metal shielding for easy identification of Category 6.

Advantages

These patch cords are manufactured and tested to Category 6 specifications to guarantee channel compliance and reliable performance characteristics including near-end crosstalk (NEXT) up to 250 MHz. The connectors are PoE+ ready and include a molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector to reduce the risk of damage during installation and use. The transparent red plug with metal shielding simplifies visual identification in structured cabling environments.

Key specifications

• Category: Class E / Category 6 (250 MHz)
• Standards: ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173
• Conductor material: Copper (Cu)
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Connector: Transparent red plug with metal shielding
• PoE capability: PoE+ ready
• Performance tested up to: 250 MHz (including NEXT)

How to use

Connect the patch cord between compatible Category 6 ports on switches, patch panels or network devices. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages; the molded boot with strain relief and latch protector helps prevent accidental damage. Use appropriate cable management to avoid excessive bending or tension that could affect performance.

Recommendations

For best system performance, use DIGITUS Category 6 patch cords within a cabling channel installed to ISO/EN standards and combine them with Category 6 compliant connectors and components. Store and install cables avoiding tight bends and high mechanical stress; in installations requiring enhanced fire safety, the LSZH sheath reduces smoke and halogen emissions.
