Network Cable Digitus CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45 Cat6a 2m Red

DIGITUS Category 6A Class EA patch cords provide future-oriented standards and high-end quality for structured networks. They feature a transparent yellow plug with metal shielding for easy identification of Category 6A (500 MHz) and a copper conductor. The cable sheath is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) to ensure reduced smoke emission and improved fire behaviour, and the patch cords are PoE+ ready.

Advantages

Manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A specifications, these patch cords guarantee compliance with ISO and EN channel requirements and deliver reliable performance up to 500 MHz, including parameters such as NEXT. Molded boots provide kink protection, strain relief and an integrated latch protector to reduce the risk of connector damage during handling and operation.

Key specifications

• Standard: ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A (Class EA)
• Frequency range: up to 500 MHz
• Conductor material: Copper (Cu)
• Connector colour: transparent yellow, metal-shielded
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• PoE support: PoE+
• Features: molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and latch protector

How to use

Connect one end of the DIGITUS Category 6A patch cord to the network device and the other end to the corresponding patch panel or switch port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages; the molded boot and latch protector reduce the risk of lever breakage. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radius to preserve performance. Verify PoE+ power compatibility when powering devices over Ethernet.

Recommendations

For optimal channel performance, use DIGITUS Category 6A patch cords within a compliant structured cabling installation and pair them with Category 6A components. Inspect connectors and boots for damage before installation and avoid excessive mechanical stress to maintain specified performance up to 500 MHz.
