Network Cable Digitus CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45 2m Red

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45 2m in red is a Category 6A patch cord engineered for high-performance network installations. Constructed with copper conductors and S/FTP shielding, the cable is PoE+ ready and designed to meet ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A specifications. The transparent yellow RJ-45 plug with metal shielding identifies Category 6A and the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath improves fire behaviour and reduces smoke emissions.

Advantages

This CAT 6A cable is tested up to 500 MHz including near-end crosstalk (NEXT) parameters to ensure reliable data transmission. The molded boot provides kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector to prevent the latching lever from breaking. S/FTP shielding minimises electromagnetic interference, supporting stable connections for high-speed applications.

Suitable for

• 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks
• High-speed Ethernet and PoE+ devices
• Office and home cabling where improved EMC and fire safety are required

Key specifications

• Length: 2 m
• Category: Cat 6A / Class EA, performance tested up to 500 MHz
• Cabling: S/FTP (shielded foil around pairs with overall braid)
• Conductor material: Copper (Cu)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with transparent yellow plug and metal shielding
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: Red
• PoE: PoE+ ready

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, patch panel or NIC) and the other end to the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages; the molded boot with strain relief helps protect the cable at the connector. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension to maintain performance up to the specified 500 MHz.

Recommendations

Use this Cat 6A S/FTP patch cord for installations requiring improved shielding and fire-safe sheathing; keep bend radius consistent with manufacturer guidance and avoid running parallel to strong power lines to minimise electromagnetic interference.
