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

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45, 5 m, black is a shielded patch cord designed for high-speed network connections in offices, data centers and home networks. Constructed with copper conductors and S/FTP shielding, it meets Category 6A (Class EA) requirements and is tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 specifications up to 500 MHz. The cable features an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions, and transparent yellow RJ-45 plugs with metal shielding for easy identification of Category 6A.

Advantages

The cable provides tested Category 6A performance including characteristics such as NEXT (near end crosstalk) up to 500 MHz, supporting reliable high-speed data transmission and PoE+ applications. Molded boots with kink protection and strain relief reduce mechanical stress at the connector, and a latch protection prevents damage to the latching lever. The S/FTP construction and copper conductors minimise electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections in offices and homes
• Data centre patching and switch-to-switch links
• Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) devices such as IP phones and cameras
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other RJ-45 plug to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid placing heavy objects on it; the molded boot and strain relief help protect the connector during normal handling and installation. For rack installations, maintain proper bend radius and secure the cable to avoid strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this DIGITUS CAT 6A S/FTP patch cord for installations requiring Class EA performance and low-smoke cabling. For optimal results, pair with Cat 6A-compliant patch panels and switches and avoid excessive bending or torsion to preserve performance and connector integrity.
