Network Cable Digitus CAT 6A U/FTP Slim patch cord RJ-45 Cat6a 3m Grey

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6A U/FTP Slim patch cord, 3 m, enables flexible and space-saving cabling in networks. Its slim outer diameter and flexible LSZH outer sheath provide improved routing in confined spaces while meeting Category 6A performance requirements up to 500 MHz.

Advantages

Small outer diameter of 4.8 mm and a flexible sheath allow versatile installation in dense patch panels and cable ducts. The LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) outer jacket improves fire behaviour and reduces smoke emission. Transparent yellow RJ-45 plug with metal shielding identifies Category 6A and provides additional EMI protection. Copper conductors ensure reliable data transmission. Molded boots include kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector to reduce connector damage.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and network devices within racks and data cabinets
• High-speed Ethernet applications requiring Category 6A performance (up to 500 MHz)
• Environments where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required

How to use

Route the slim patch cord between network devices, switches and patch panels, avoiding sharp bends. Insert the RJ-45 connectors into corresponding ports until the latch clicks. Use the molded boot to protect the connector and relieve strain; ensure the latch protector faces outward to prevent lever breakage. For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended channel lengths and avoid placing the cable close to strong electromagnetic sources.

Recommendations

For structured cabling installations, use these Cat 6A U/FTP slim patch cords within compliant channel configurations and pair them with Category 6A components to maintain certified performance. Store and install cables without excessive bending and follow local fire-safety regulations for LSZH materials.
