Network Cable Digitus CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45 Cat6a 10m Blue

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45, length 10 m, provides high-performance wired connectivity for structured networks. Constructed with copper conductors and S/FTP shielding, this Cat6a patch cord meets ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A (Class EA) specifications and is tested up to 500 MHz. The cable features an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath and transparent yellow metal-shielded plugs for easy identification of Category 6A.

Advantages

This Cat6a patch cord delivers certified performance up to 500 MHz, including parameters such as NEXT, and is PoE+ ready for power-over-Ethernet applications. The S/FTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Molded boots provide kink protection, strain relief and integrated latch protection to reduce connector damage. Transparent yellow metal-shielded RJ-45 plugs enable visual identification of Category 6A cabling while the blue cable jacket keeps a professional appearance.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet networks (10/100/1000 Mbps and 10 Gbps)
• Data centers and server rooms
• Office structured cabling and patch panels
• Environments requiring reduced emissions and improved fire behaviour (LSZH)

Key specifications

• Cable type: S/FTP (shielded Foil over Pair with overall braid)
• Category: CAT 6A / Class EA, tested up to 500 MHz
• Conductor material: Copper (Cu)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, metal-shielded, transparent yellow plug
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• PoE support: PoE+ ready
• Colour: Blue (cable)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router or server) and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding patch panel, wall outlet or endpoint device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks into place. Route the cable without sharp bends; use the molded boot kink protection to minimize stress at the connector. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to large sources of electromagnetic interference such as mains power cables.

Recommendations

For permanent installations and channel certification, use appropriate patch panel and outlet components rated for Category 6A and verify the full channel performance with certified test equipment. Replace damaged connectors or cables to maintain network reliability.
