Network Cable Digitus CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45 3m Blue

The Digitus CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45 patch cord, 3 m, blue, is a high-performance network cable engineered to meet ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A (Class EA) requirements. The cable uses copper conductors and S/FTP shielding to reduce external interference and is tested up to 500 MHz to ensure reliable high-speed data transmission. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer sheath improves fire behaviour and reduces smoke emissions in case of fire. Connectors are transparent yellow with metal shielding for clear Category 6A identification and PoE+ compatibility.

Advantages

This CAT 6A patch cord offers tested performance up to 500 MHz including NEXT characteristics, providing compatibility with ISO & EN channel specifications. The S/FTP construction with metal-shielded, transparent yellow RJ-45 plugs reduces electromagnetic interference. Molded boots with kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector increase connector durability and reduce the risk of latch breakage. Copper conductors ensure stable signal transmission and the LSZH jacket enhances safety in enclosed environments.

Suitable for

• Wired gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet connections (10/100/1000Base-T(X))
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones, cameras and access points
• Structured cabling in offices, server rooms and data centers
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cable jackets

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to a network port on a switch, router or NIC and the other plug to the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages and use the molded boot to avoid sharp bends near the connector. Route the cable following standard cabling practices, avoiding tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the patch cord within structured cabling channels that conform to ISO/EN standards and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines. Inspect connectors periodically for damaged latches and replace the cable if the LSZH jacket is cut or compromised.
