Network Cable Digitus CAT 6A U/UTP Patch Cord RJ-45 Cat6a 3m Grey

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6A U/UTP Patch Cord (3 m) is a Cat6a-class unshielded Ethernet patch lead with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed to meet Category 6A (Class EA) channel requirements. The cable uses copper conductors, gold-plated contacts and a molded boot with kink protection and strain relief. The connector housing is transparent yellow for easy identification of Cat6A, while the cable sheath is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) for improved fire behaviour and reduced smoke emissions. The cable is PoE+ ready and tested for performance up to 500 MHz.

Advantages

The patch cord is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A specifications and provides validated performance characteristics including NEXT up to 500 MHz. The molded boots include latch protection to reduce the risk of latch breakage and provide strain relief and kink protection. LSZH sheath improves safety in case of fire and the transparent yellow connector allows quick visual identification of Category 6A cables. Copper conductors and gold-plated contacts ensure reliable conductivity and durability.

Suitable for

• Structured network installations requiring Cat6A performance
• High-bandwidth Ethernet links and PoE+ powered devices
• Data centres, server rooms and enterprise networks
• Office environments where low-smoke cabling is required

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 6A (Class EA), ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173
• Frequency range: up to 500 MHz
• Type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, transparent yellow plug
• Conductor: Copper (Cu)
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network switch, patch panel or router and the other RJ-45 plug to the target device (PC, server, access point or PoE+ device). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid kinking; use the molded boot with strain relief to protect the connection point. For best performance, keep patch cord runs within recommended channel lengths and avoid running parallel to power cables where possible.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6A U/UTP patch cord in installations requiring certified Category 6A performance and low-smoke cabling. Inspect connectors before installation and replace any cable with visible damage. For structured cabling, follow local installation standards and maintain recommended channel length limits to preserve the tested performance up to 500 MHz.
