Network Cable Digitus CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45 7m Black

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45 7m in black is a Category 6A Class EA patch cord designed for high-performance structured cabling. It is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A specifications, with performance verified up to 500 MHz. The cable uses copper conductors, an S/FTP shielding structure to reduce electromagnetic interference, gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and a transparent yellow, metal-shielded plug for easy identification of Category 6A.

Advantages

The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath ensures improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions. The molded boot provides kink protection, strain relief and an integrated latch protector to reduce the risk of broken latching levers. PoE+ ready design supports power-over-Ethernet applications. Tested performance (including NEXT) up to 500 MHz guarantees compliance with ISO and EN channel specifications for Category 6A installations.

Suitable for

• High-speed gigabit and 10G Ethernet networks
• Data centres and server rooms
• Office network cabling and patch panels
• PoE/PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones and access points

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of your switch, router or patch panel and the other RJ-45 connector to the target device. Route the S/FTP cable to avoid sharp bends and apply minimal tension to the cable; the molded boot with kink protection will help prevent damage at the connector. Verify link status on your network equipment after installation and use appropriate cable management to maintain performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the S/FTP cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and maintain bend radii consistent with Category 6A installation practices; store and install within manufacturer temperature ranges. Use this 7 m DIGITUS CAT 6A patch cord where channel performance up to 500 MHz is required and where PoE+ support is needed.
